PREFACE 

This book in being' brought before the pub- 
lic is not intended to take the place of any other 
book on the subject of psychology. There is 
not a thought, sentence or solution of a propo- 
sition in the entire book that is borrowed from 
anyone. I have reached my conclusions in this 
book by observation and demonstrations. A 
book of this nature has been in my mind for 
thirty years, but I preferred to wait to give it to 
the world until I had reached the years of ma- 
turity. Now having lived fifty-five years I am 
giving to the world the fruits of my labors. 
I hope and pray that it will serve the purpose 
for which your humble servant has given it.

instructed upon receiving it as to the purpose 
for which it was given. As it came to us, 
so will it pass from us ; by it we know r each 
and everything, coming into our lives. It 
enables us to separate the things we like 
from the things we dislike ; by it we choose 
and cling to those we love, those w T ho are near 
and dear to us for various reasons ; by it we de- 
spise and shun those whom we dislike ; by it we 
justify and by it we condemn. It is our all in 
time of peace and it never fails us in time of 
danger ; without it we would be valueless to our 
fellowman. We prize it above the wealth of 
the material universe. It cannot be bought or 
sold but the fruits of it can be. The entire 
wealth of the world is produced by it ; by it we 
think, these thoughts we clothe with words 
and express them ; by this process we are in- 
creasing or extending the dominion of the mind. 

The mind of man is subject to evolution. It 
maintains his identity as a man. It is composed 
of life and intelligence and is dependent upon 
the spirit for its life and the soul for its intelli- 
gence. 



Mind 7 

The ether in the atmosphere is the medium 
through which the mind transmits thoughts 
from mind to mind. The mind formulates all 
messages and governs the transmission of the 
message both by mental telepathy and oral sug- 
gestion. It possesses, inherently, the power to 
adjust itself to other minds or to put itself in 
tune with other minds. It is indivisible and can 
pursue but one line of thought to a definite 
conclusion at one and the same time, otherwise, 
it would become confused and indefinite. It is 
dependent upon a higher intelligence than that 
possessed by man for its origin, maintenance 
and intelligence to act. It came by a scientific 
law guided by infinite intelligence. Its primary 
source is creative. It increases and maintains 
its existence by evolution. 

When the brain of man becomes impaired, 
the action of the mind becomes indefinite. The 
scientific law governing its action operates 
through the brain. When the convolution of 
the brain predominating the life of a man be- 
comes impaired to the extent that it is unfitted 
for service, insanity is the inevitable result.

The mind is not subject to a chemical analy- 
sis. It can only be defined by the work it per- 
forms. It is the mind of man that evolves the 
way by which the barren plains have been pene- 
trated and have made it possible for their vir- 
gin soils to blossom as the rose. It was mind 
that paved the entire way of transportation, 
from the stage to the aeroplane. Mind has 
made it possible to transmit wireless messages 
to any part of the material universe on land and 
on sea. It has put man in touch with man and 
nation in touch with nation. It has made it 
possible for a message to travel faster than our 
solar system, giving to us what has transpired 
hours before we reach that period of time on 
our journey of life. It controls the silent sub- 
tle forces within man and has made man what 
he is. It controls the entire destiny of the mate- 
rial universe and silently and scientifically 
forms the destiny of kings, dominions and na- 
tions ; by it our entire life is vividly portrayed 
to us. It is the primary source of all psycholog- 
ical phenomena existing, from the simplest to 
the most profound. It can penetrate the visible 
and invisible and give a definite and scientific 



Mind 9 

solution of them if man will make it possible 
for him to receive it. 

The dormant condition of the avenues in 
the brain is the only thing intervening between 
man and the solution of psychic manifestations. 
Mind can remove the existing conditions in 
the brain and put man in touch with the solu- 
tion of these things. 

The mind of man is the fountain from which 
psychic problems emanate. Their origin can be 
traced to the human mind. There is no psychic 
phenomena that can be produced in the ab- 
sence of mind. By a proper development of the 
avenues of the brain each and every psychic 
phenomena can be accurately solved and its 
cause and purpose fully known by man. 

The evolution of mind is dependent upon the 
■evolution of the brain, which constitutes the 
basis for its operation. If you wish to solve the 
unsolved things of a psychic nature you must 
prepare the instrument by and through which 
the mind operates in order to be able to do so. 
It is possible for you to prepare your mind to 



10 Psychology Simplified 

act intelligently in solving all questions of this 
nature. 

The mind if given access to each avenue in 
the brain and the permission to use them intel- 
ligently can give the exact cause of all psychic 
manifestations and it can produce them accu- 
rately and at will. A working hypothesis for 
them can be evolved by the mind. 

The mind is limited by the instrument 
through which it operates. As you gain a 
knowledge of that instrument you are increas- 
ing the possibilities of your mind. The mind 
uses every part of the instrument that you 
make it possible for it to use. The brain of man 
is the only instrument and the only medium 
through which mind operates. The mind can,, 
under a properly developed brain, extract facts 
from inanimate objects and give that which is. 
contained within its invisible depths. 

Mind can unravel the mysteries of past 
ages and give the cause producing these mys- 
terious things. Mind can solve all mysteries 
when the brain is sufficiently developed for it 
to act intelligently. The mind is the home of 



Mind 11 

mysteries. They have no other existence and 
can exist only in the mind of man. 

To know thyself is to have gained an in- 
telligent knowledge of that which gives form 
and existence to the things which are mys- 
terious to you. The only reason a mystery 
exists is because of the unprepared condition of 
your brain which limits the power of your mind 
and prevents it from penetrating and solving 
the thing done, which would remove all mys- 
tery surrounding that thing. 

Mind can solve every mysterious thing in 
the material universe with a properly developed 
brain which will give to the mind an unlimited 
field in which to operate. 

Mind can penetrate the great wall of thought 
intervening between the mortal and immortal 
and obtain intelligence inexpressible. Mind 
can penetrate each and every plane of life, yet 
it is impossible for a man to exist upon only one 
plane at one and the same time. He can evolve 
from plane to plane, until he reaches the highest 
plane upon which man can live while on earth. 

The evolution of your brain is that which 



12 Psychology Simplified 

makes it possible to evolve to a higher plane of 
life. The only limitation the mind has is the 
brain in which it exists and operates. Each 
brain is subject to the will of the one possessing 
that brain.

Chapter II. 
EVOLUTION OF MIND 

After many years of careful study and 
demonstration I have arrived at conclusions 
which I hope will assist, to some extent at least, 
in clearing away the mist which seemingly 
surrounds this subject. 

Before a teacher can impart knowledge on 
a subject he must first understand the subject 
himself. One must have access to the light be- 
fore he can turn the light on. The reason we 
have not been able to solve many psychological 
propositions is because of the obstacles and re- 
strictions that have been thrown around them. 
Many have become discouraged and given up 
the fight in solving questions of this nature 
when they were almost in possession of the key 
that would unlock the door to the unlimited. 

In the study of psychology and its effects 
upon the human being I shall speak of it as the 
limited and the unlimited. I shall discuss this 
subject thoroughly both from a limited and un- 
limited standpoint. 



14 Psychology Simplified . 

Man is a triune being. This fact can be 
demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of every 
one who is willing to take as evidence the 
scientific facts which we are able to extract 
from the primary principles manifested in the 
life of every human being. 

The psychic manifestations observed during 
life do not emanate from the body, brain or ma- 
terial mind of man. They are only mediums 
through which intelligence is expressed. Their 
existence and work are confined to this life 
only. The body and brain are subject to a 
chemical analysis. The material mind cannot 
be so analyzed. It receives the intelligence 
from the soul mind and transforms it into 
human intelligence. It is limited to the brain 
in whcih it operates and ceases to exist when 
dissolution of the body and brain occur. 

The soul and soul mind are not subject to 
a chemical analysis. They are not composed of 
material substance and are not limited to this 
plane of life. 

Our souls emanated from the Great Soul and 
the limitations of mortality are not applicable 



Evolution of Mind 15 

to it and do not in any way effect it's existence. 
It dwells in this house of clay during our so- 
journ here and when this house can no longer 
supply it with a dwelling place it passes to a 
higher and purer plane of life. 

The work of the body, brain and material 
mind are limited to their development and they 
are dependent upon the soul and soul mind for 
intelligence to perform each act by which they 
maintain their existence and fill their purpose 
on this material plane of life. 

The soul is immortal, therefore, it is unseen. 
All human intelligence emanates from the soul. 
Human intelligence is limited, therefore the . 
power of the soul operating through the human 
being is limited. That brings us face to face 
with the subject of why human intelligence is 
limited. 

Evidently the Greal Soul, from which our 
souls emanated, is unlimited, to illustrate, light 
is limited but the source of all light is unlimited. 
You may have a brilliant light in a room, you 
can limit that light by closing the doors and 
drawing the shades which serves to restrict the 



16 Psychology Simplified 

light to the room only, now by the simple pro- 
cess of opening the doors and raising the shades 
you remove these restrictions and let the light 
penetrate the darkness. 

The brain is a house in which the material 
mind dwells. If we close up all of the avenues 
of the brain, through which light emanates 
from the soul, then we would become darkness 
to the world in so far as intelligence is con- 
cerned. If by evolution of mind the avenues of 
light in our brain were opened, we would be- 
come light to the world, then comes the ques- 
tion, why is our soul limited? 

The body, with all its parts, is a dwelling 
place for the soul, which is the real being. Our 
bodies, as a whole, are subject to and under the 
direction of the soul. This is true normally but 
V we have become so abnormal that we use physi- 
cal means to limit that which was intended to 
be unlimited. We are limited by ourselves and 
those around us. Every one is just what he 
and those around him have made him. 

We limit ourselves by admitting that we 
cannot accomplish certain things, for instance ; 



Evolution of Mind 17 

we say that we cannot free ourselves of disease, 
neither can we keep ourselves free after having 
become freed. Those around us say that it is 
impossible for us to do so, declaring that such 
is beyond human power to accomplish. We ac- 
cept this and by so doing we limit ourselves and 
fail to accomplish that which the Creator in- 
tended we should accomplish. 

Our bodies, with all their parts, are instru- 
ments of the reaJLJpeing and they were originally 
intended to be wholly under its control. The 
head is the only real governing power of the 
body, this being true, when and why did the 
real governing power lose its power to govern? 
It lost this power the instant it declared its 
inability to govern. The reason why it made 
this declaration was FEAR, the great enemy, 
the one that caused the downfall of humanity 
and is continually filling the world with sick- 
ness, sorrow, weakness and disolution. 

Fear is today one of the apparently immov- 
able obstacles in the way of advancement. 
Often w r e say we are going to break the 
shackles and free humanity from darkness and 



18 Psychology Simplified 

superstition and, through fear of failure, we 
confine our steps to the footprints of those who 
have lived before us. 

What a sublime thought to be able to bind 
fear and banish failure and step out where 
there are no footprints of past ages, turn on the 
light where total darkness reign supreme, re- 
move the obstacles and extend the limit little by 
little until fear has lost its power to control us 
and failure has ceased to follow in our pathway. 
It requires an effort on our part to accomplish 
this. 

Only those have become great in the eyes of 
the world who have dared to step upon untrod- 
den ground and have refused to be limited. By 
a strong arm and a powerful mind they have 
climbed the ladder of fame and have plucked 
the golden fruit which, through fear, others 
have failed to reaeh. (fato 

In as much as fear is a hindrance to us in 
our investigation of this, the most wonderful of 
all themes, I will banish it from my mind in my 
search for the key that will unlock the door to 



Evolution op Mind 19 

the -unlimited, to the storehouse from which all 
scientific laws emanate. 

The Great Soul is the source of all truth 
relative to every, scientific proposition, which 
alone can remove the mystery and darkness 
that has so long blinded the eyes and, baffled 
the brain of an intelligent race of human beings. 

The soul is the source of all human intelli- 
gence. The avenues of the brain are the chan- 
nels through which the soul operates. There 
are, at least, forty-two avenues through which 
it can be made possible for the soul to transmit 
intelligence on as many different subjects. By 
properly developing these avenues you are, 
evolving a material mind. 

The soul of the human being is limited in 
performing the work originally intended for it 
to do, by the dormant undeveloped avenues in 
the brain. This being true, we can see plainly 
why it is, that the soul itself, being unlimited, 
is limited in performing its work through the 
brain. 

Knowledge is that which develops every 
avenue of the brain. Knowledge dispels the 



20 Psychology Simplified 

darkness from the peculiar work of every scien- 
tific law in the material universe. Knowledge 
is the key that will unlock every avenue of the 
brain and little by little we can see the light 
from the soul penetrating these avenues and 
imparting knowledge to those around us. 

I look about me and see the footprints of 
those who have gone on before me, then I 
realize that I am only doing that which some 
one else has done, making it possible for me 
to do. It is a rare occurrence that we will find 
a person who will get up courage enough to 
make the effort to explore the unexplored fields 
of scientific research and give to the world some 
food for thought. 

The primary source of knowledge is the 
thing itself of which we desire a knowledge, 
for instance, we analyze a stone, and by doing 
so we gain a knowledge of its composition. The 
stone is the only thing in the material universe 
that can impart to the human being that knowl- 
edge. This is true of every thing animate and 
inanimate, from the smallest to the greatest. 

When we gain a knowledge of one stone, 



Evolution of Mind 21 

that does not give us a knowledge of all stones. 
Our knowledge is limited to that one stone, so 
we see by extending our knowledge, we are 
lessening our limitations. 

If we do not know that a certain stone exists, 
it is no evidence that the stone does not exist 
but it is conclusive proof that we have no knowl- 
edge of its existence. Then by producing the 
stone, our doubt of its existence has been re- 
moved. Now we have a knowledge of its exis- 
tence, yet we may be in total darkness as to its 
composition. An analysis of that stone will de- 
velop within us a perfect knowledge of the 
stone. Then we are not limited regarding that 
stone. In my process of reasoning I have not 
changed the stone in anyway, but I have added 
to my storehouse of knowledge, by the simple 
process of removing the darkness surrounding 
that stone. This is true of every other inani- 
mate object. 

The scientific law that governs a stone 
emanates from the same source that all scien- 
tific laws emanate, therefore, all scientific laws 
are related to each other. Each scientific law 



22 Psychology Simplified 

is limited to its peculiar line of work. The 
source from which all scientific laws emanate 
is unlimited. If it were possible to change a 
scientific law you would destroy the object 
governed by that law. If the law that governs 
a stone loose its power to govern, the stone 
would become dissolved. It would cease to 
be a stone and its properties would go to make 
up other objects. 

It is beyond human power to change a 
scientific— law or to change in any way its 
method of government. You may. destroy the 
object governed by a scientific law and by so 
doing, defeat the purpose of the law but you 
cannot destroy or change the law in the least. 
The same is true of the scientific law that 
governs the human being. 

We are living in the "Now," it is impossible 
for us to do otherwise. We can never live 
one minute of our past life over again, neither 
can we live one minute of the time in the 
future until the time arrives for us to do so. 

Every human being is just as good as it 
is possible for him to be NOW. It would be 



Evolution of Mind 23 

impossible for him to be otherwise, because 
the soul makes no choice of the avenues of 
the brain through which it operates. The de- 
velopment of the avenues through which the 
soul operates are wholly dependent upon the 
one possessing the brain. If every avenue of 
the human brain were developed to its fullest 
capacity, then the soul would be able to per- 
form anything known or unknown to the 
human being. 

We are not limited because we were origin- 
ally intended to be so but because we will not 
make the necessary effort to be otherwise. 
People in the past ages and even now, with few // 
exceptions are satisfied ;'to know the plain, 
simple things which can be learned from 
others and go through life with practically all 
of the avenues of their brains dormant. They 
are "dead, yet living". The avenues of their 
brains are locked up. They are like the room 
with a five hundred candle power light in it, 
with the doors locked and the shades all drawn. 
In the name of reason open the doors and raise 
the shades and let the soul penetrate the 



24 Psychology Simplified 

avenues of the brain and give light to the world 
around, as it was originally intended that it 
should do. We are limited because we will not 
be otherwise. Knowledge will unlock every 
avenue of the brain through which the un- 
limited operates. Then get knowledge, get 
understanding. An effort on your part will 
bring the desired result. 

The soul or the real being within itself is 
unlimited but in its operation it is limited to 
the body in which it dwells. While it can and 
does operate independent of the body, in a 
sense, yet the body is its home, its dwelling 
place. All of the functions of the brain and 
body are under its direct control. Without 
it the body would dissolve and go back to its 
original state. 

The soul emanated from the unlimited, and 
as like will produce like, the soul being related 
to the unlimited is limited only by the channels 
through which it operates. The material mind 
is susceptible to development by gaining a 
knowledge of things. 

It was originally intended that the avenues 



Evolution op Mind 25 

of the brain were to be developed, otherwise, 
they would not be there, neither would we have 
the ability to develop them. All of the 
avenues of the brain that are developed are 
active and those receiving the greatest develop- 
ment are the most active and predominate our 
lives. By our continuaHhinking along a certain 
line we are increasing the possibilities of the 
material mind on that line of work. 

No human being should be condemned for 
thinking, or for the kind of thoughts he thinks, 
we are not in the least responsible for so think- 
ing. Our environments are responsible for the 
development of our brain. The brain being 
developed by certain environments make it 
impossible to think otherwise. 

Thoughts are things. They have a real 
existence and when we entertain them, they 
become a part of us and we live them in our 
lives, regardless of whether they are good or 
evil. 

Let every human being have what he has, 
think what he thinks, worship what he wor- 
ships, until such time that you are in the 



26 Psychology Simplified 

position to give him something better than he 
has to take the place of that which he has. This 
too is accomplished by the evolution of mind. 
In this way we develop other avenues of the 
brain, which in time will change our thoughts 
and manner of living. 

The question is often asked, "what is the 
soul and what part of the human being does 
it occupy?" To illustrate, we see a large fact- 
ory operated by electricity with its machinery 
all in perfect running condition, when you turn 
the electric current on, all of the machinery 
begins to run. Each performs its work 
correctly, you cannot see the electric current 
that moves this immense amount of machinery. 

This electric current is limited only by the 
machine through which it operates. The 
source from which it comes is unlimited. The 
peculiar construction of the dynamo gives to 
it the peculiar power to attract this current 
from the unlimited and conduct it through 
properly arranged channels to the place where 
it is applied to the machinery. 

The soul fills the same place to the human 



Evolution of Mind 27 

being, that the electric current does to the 
factory. It occupies all space, yet it does not 
consume any. The source from which it 
emanated is unlimited but it is limited in the 
work it performs by the channels through which 
it operates. 

If a man comes in contact with a live elec- 
tric wire and the shock of the electric current 
proves fatal, you say it was the electric cur- 
rent that did it but if a man had hit him a blow 
with the same result you would say that it was 
the man that did it, when in fact both men 
came in contact with the instrument through 
which the current and the soul operates, to- 
wit : the wire and the man. You can remove 
the wire and the man, but you cannot destroy 
electricity and the soul. 

By removing the current from the wire and 
the soul from the man, both would become 
absolutely^ harmless. The scientific laws that 
govern both emanate from the unlimited. If 
it were possible to suspend both laws, neither 
of them would exist. 

The limited cannot control the unlimited, 



28 Psychology Simplified 

therefore it is useless to talk of changing the 
scientific laws that have for their origin and 
control the unlimited. 

When the brain becomes active, the soul 
brings the entire physical being into action to 
accomplish the purpose evolved by that avenue, 
in other words, each avenue of the brain has at 
its command the co-operation of the entire 
being to execute what it plans to do. 

Psychology is the primary source of every 
act performed by the human being. It has for 
its origin the soul, from which emanates every 
plan, thought, word, sentence and movement 
in the human being, and more than that, the 
intelligence that applies this power to the 
human being emanates from the soul. 

How many times each day do you say, I 
do not know? Now, dear reader, if you will 
put on your thinking cap and go with me, I will 
see if I can open, to your entire satisfaction, the 
way to the unlimited. Did I hear you say, or 
do you think, that you are afraid we will never 
reach it? If so, as long as that fear is in your 
mind, just stay where you are. I want only 



Evolution of Mind 29 

those who have courage and hope to accompany 
me on this journey. I told you that I had bound 
fear and banished failure in undertaking this 
work, and so it MUST be. 

There are two planes upon which we can 
live, the psychic and the physical. We cannot 
live wholly upon either plane. Our intellect 
prevents us from living exclusively upon the 
physical and the physical prevents us from 
living upon the psychic plane ; one or the other 
will predominate our lives. 

The one in whose life the physical pre- 
dominates, can only use the material things in 
his comparisons. Comparison is the only way 
by which any thing can be known. He becomes 
skeptical regarding the psychic side of life 
and of every thing of a psychic nature. The 
same is true of the one in whose life the psychic 
predominates. Everything is psychic to him, 
he loses sight of the physical side of life. 

The one who is overdeveloped either way 
is unfortunate in being so, they cannot see the 
beauty and grandeur of the things so bounti- 
fully supplied for us. The one living upon 



30 Psychology Simplified 

both planes, who is equally developed phy- 
sically and psychically can draw on the physical 
to clothe his psychic visions and on the 
psychic to give life and beauty to the physical. 
By so doing he is able to see and compare 
every object that exists if the avenues of the 
brain peculiar to that object are properly de- 
veloped. 

We should be very careful about our de- 
velopments for therein lies the secret of success. 
When properly developed it w T ill lead us to a 
higher and purer plane of life, where success 
will crown our efforts. 

Our intelligence is equal to the develop- 
ment of the brain. Knowledge is the road 
that leads to the unlimited. As we increase 
our knowledge, we are increasing the develop- 
ment of the brain. Which gives our intelli- 
gence a greater range of action, both upon the 
psychic and physical plane. 

Knowledge is the proper understanding of 
the structure and development of every thing 
animate and inanimate. Intelligence trans- 
mits this knowledge through the avenues of 



Evolution of Mind 31 

the brain, which have been developed and pre- 
pared for action by the process of gaining this 
knowledge. This we call human intelligence, 
because it is limited in its action to the avenues 
in the brain. 

The brain is the basis of operation for every- 
thing known in the material universe. There 
is not an instrument of any kind that can be 
operated without a physical basis nor is there 
in existence today an instrument that did not 
have its origin in the brain of man. 

It is not possible for an instrument to be 
perfected in the absence of brain. Then the 
brain being material and the center from which 
all instruments and inventions emanated it 
would be impossible to evolve within the brain 
an instrument that did not require a physical 
basis for operation. Every mental science that 
is possible is dependent upon the brain for its 
basis of operation. 

The human brain is the most wonderful 
instrument in the material universe, without it, 
it would be impossible to attract the life force 



32 Psychology Simplified 

from the atmosphere and conduct it to all 
of the tissues of the body. 

It is not possible for a thought to be evolved 
and come into existence without the avenues in 
the brain being developed, neither can the mind 
evolve to a point of intelligence without the 
use of the brain and in the absence of the brain 
life could not be applied to the body of man. 
Then the center and final consummation of 
everything by man is the brain. 

Some people have thought when they 
wished to accomplish a certain thing, that it 
;was only necessary to call the All-Wise 
; Creator's attention to their desire and He 
would bring about the^ results. There is no 
one who has accomplished a thing, it matters 
not how great that thing might have been, but 
that there was in the brain of that person the 
power to do so. The human brain has that 
power inherent in it. 

The greater the development of the brain, 
the greater the power to accomplish a thing. 
If every avenue of the brain was developed that 



Evolution of Mind 33 

would make man absolutely unlimited from 
every standpoint. 

It is impossible for man to develop every 
avenue in his brain ; the average man will have 
all the way from fifteen to twenty avenues 
developed. These avenues are always active 
and are responsible for everything you do. The 
only way you can change a man is to cause 
him to think on another line of thought. This 
will evolve or develop another convolution. 
When that avenue becomes active it will 
counteract some other avenue differing in 
nature from it. 

A person, by evolving the convolutions of 
the brain is widening the field of his material- 
mind's operation. As these convolutions are 
enlarged and developed they will be prepared to 
intelligently deliver messages, either mentally 
or orally. 

Human intelligence emanates from the soul, 
hence, human intelligence can only be limited 
by the channels through which it operates. We 
can enlighten the world on any question in 



34 Psychology Simplified 

the material universe, if the avenue peculiar 
to that line of thought is developed. 

By a combination of certain avenues of the 
brain, this intelligence can transmit messages 
to friends and loved ones any distance. Space 
does not interfere, in any way with intelligence 
in transmitting messages. The only thing that 
can interfere in this work is the undeveloped 
condition of the avenues of the brain. 

This intelligence can give you any informa- 
tion you may wish to know, where a friend or 
loved one is at any given time, what they are 
doing, where they are going, the time in the 
day or night that they will leave the place 
where they are and the time they will arrive at 
the place they are going. It will warn you of 
any danger along your pathway, giving you 
ample time to avoid it. 

Intelligence does not stop at this. It is 
continually knocking at your door, begging 
and pleading for you to allow it to assist you 
in solving the problems of life. It will never 
leave nor forsake you at any time but you cooly 
and calmly close and lock the channels through 



Evolution of Mind 35

which it offers assistance to you, and go 
through life practically without any purpose, 
fearing troubles that never come, and crossing 
bridges that never will be built. 

Our entire life consists of the things we 
attract by our development. The pleasures 
of life are what we make them. Everything 
coming to us is governed by a well directed 
scientific law that cannot be changed. Things 
do not just happen so to us during our life. 

Neither do things just happen so in any 
department of life under any condition. They 
are so because, it is impossible for it to be 
otherwise. 

We put ourselves in the channel through 
which certain things come and we get them, 
regardless of our wishes for it to be otherwise. 
The only way we can avoid a thing, is to evolve 
out of the channel through which it comes. 
These laws are as unchangeable as any of the 
laws of nature. 

If you put your finger in the fire, you will 
get burned. You do not happen to get burned, 
you got burned because you came in contact 



€a 



36 Psychology Simplified 

with fire which burns. Everything that you 
have or are, is so by the development of the 
avenues of your brain. 

The chemical compound entering into the 
composition of the brain of man, is scientifically 
compounded and puts man in touch with the 
scientific solution of all questions when the 
mind has evolved sufficiently to put in operation 
each avenue in the brain. 

Each chemical in nature is an attraction for 
a certain other chemical and it is in turn 
attracted by other chemicals. These chemicals 
in nature are both positive and negative. They 
are so by a well directed law emanating from 
the unlimited. A knowledge of this law pre- 
pares the avenues of the brain so that we can 
know what chemical is attracted by certain 
other chemicals. 

By the development of certain avenues of 
the brain, an instrument can be made with 
chemicals that will be attracted by certain ob- 
jects, but it does not in any way affect or change 
the scientific law that governs the object or 
chemical. Each chemical is limited only by 



Evolution of Mind 37 

the law governing its existence. Our under- 
standing of these chemicals is limited by the 
development of the avenues of our brain. 

All of the chemicals entering into the 
composition of nature are scientifically com- 
pounded. They are arranged so by the 
unlimited, each chemical attracting and being 
attracted. They were so arranged that the - 
entire material universe is kept in motion and 
remains one harmonious whole in evblving 
light, heat sunshine and rain. 

All chemical compounds in nature are com- 
pounded so they are normal to the human 
body. The chemical compound of all fruits 
and vegetables are normal compounds and 
those adapted to the use of our bodies as food 
are normal in their chemical compound to our 
bodies. 

If we take into our bodies an abnormal 
amount of these chemicals we are defeating 
the scientific laws of nature in producing a 
normal body. If we should become familiar 
with the laws of nature and take into our 
bodies a normal amount of these chemicals that 



38 Psychology Simplified 

are normal to our bodies, we would evolve a 
normal body. By so doing we would remove 
from us the aches and pains produced by our 
abnormal living. Then we would become un- 
limited in our praise to Him who does all things 
well in supplying everything in nature for our 
peace and happiness. 

There is no chemical in nature that is 
limited. The laws of nature do not limit or 
withhold from any process in nature any 
chemicals necessary to its growth and de- 
velopment. We limit the chemical compound 
entering into the composition of the apple by 
the number of apple trees we plant but the 
chemicals entering into the compound of the 
apple are unlimited. 

Everything in nature when governed and 
applied by the scientific laws of nature, is ab- 
solutely unlimited in evolving and maintaining 
a normal condition and will perpetuate all 
things until their purpose here has been 
accomplished. 

We, as human beings, have no limit thrown 
around us in drawing on the unlimited supply 



Evolution of Mind 39 

in nature to make and keep our bodies normal. 
Why are we more abnormal than any other 
creature in the material universe? We have 
an intelligence, that properly applied, puts us 
in touch with the unlimited, from which comes 
all power to know and to do ; all good to have 
and to appreciate ; all joy abounding in love for 
the elevation of mankind to a plane where 
selfishness and greed has no abiding place; 
where the atmosphere is pure and our hearts 
are filled with love for nature ; for the wonder- 
ful things she has provided for our development 
and pleasure in helping us to evolve to a 
higher plane far above every other creature, 
making us master over the entire universe, 
making us see good in everything ; everywhere 
bringing sunshine, peace and happiness. 

The greater our knowledge of a thing, the 
greater our appreciation is for that thing. 

The more we know and appreciate the 
nearer we get to the unlimited governing that 
thing. When we reach the limit in developing 
that avenue, that will bring us to the unlimited. 

The unlimited is always where we reach our 



) 



40 Psychology Simplified 

limit. The limited leads us to the unlimited on 
every proposition in the material universe that 
we have access to. The source from which the 
laws emanate that govern us in reaching the 
unlimited on any proposition is unlimited. We 
have unlimited assistance while we explore 
the unexplored fields of scientific research. 

The soul mind is unlimited in solving all 
problems, but the material mind is limited in 
receiving the solution of these problems from 
the soul mind. The material mind is limited by 
its knowledge of all questions. The soul mind 
gives the solution of a problem to the material 
mind through the avenues of the brain. If the 
avenues of the brain, relative to that problem, 
are undeveloped it will be impossible for the 
soul mind to deliver the solution of that 
problem to the material mind. Therefore, it 
would be impossible for the material mind to 
receive the solution of the problem because 
of a dormant condition of the avenues of the 
brain, which is the only channel through 
which the soul mind can transmit intelligence 
upon any subject. 



Evolution of Mind 41 

The soul mind being unlimited in solving 
questions does not assist the material mind in 
solving any question, unless we open the chan- 
nel through which it operates in giving to the 
material mind these solutions. The material 
mind is limited on every question by its knowl- 
edge of that question. It is not a question of 
the soul mind being able to solve the problem. 
It can solve any problem but it cannot give the 
solution to the material mind until the material 
mind is prepared to receive it. 

The avenues of the brain when properly 
developed, furnish ample conveyance for the 
soul mind to transmit the solution of all prob- 
lems to the material mind. Then we would be 
unlimited in transmitting intelligence upon 
every question in the material universe. 

The soul mind is ready at all times to give 
you the solution of any question if you will 
make it possible for it to do so. If you will 
not make an effort on your part in preparing 
the material mind to receive it, then it will 
never be given you by your soul mind. You 
may reap the benefit of the effort pf someone 



42 Psychology Simplified 

else who has made it possible for his material 
mind to receive it, you are only doing that 
which someone else has made it possible for you 
to do. { 

The greater the effort required in solving 
a problem, the greater we appreciate our know- 
ing it, which gives us courage to pursue our 
efforts to the limit of that proposition and 
connects us with the unlimited. Then we will 
have opened the channel through which the 
unlimited operates, in transmitting messages 
to the material mind. 

There is so much in this life for everyone. 
If you will only make it possible for it to come 
to you, you can drive the storm clouds from 
the horizon of your life by being able to draw 
on the unlimited which can make all things 
possible for you. Will you make the effort of 
your life to evolve to the plane where peace 
can banish unrest from your life and hope can 
drive fear with its untold disapppointments 
from your pathway, where contentment and 
appreciation reign supreme, where love con- 
trols on every hand, right and justice prevail 



Evolution of Mind 43 

and where you can bring sunshine every day 
to all? 

You may think the effort too great and 
become discouraged but it is worth more to 
you than words can express and the world will 
be blessed by your effort. With all that has 
been written on this subject no one has given us 
a solution of it, or a working hypothesis to 
reason from. Mind is a function of the brain. 
The brain is the basis of operation of the 
material mind. 

What I mean by the unlimited is the point 
that the mind reaches in de\ T elopment, where 
there is no more room in that avenue for de- 
velopment. When you desire to open a way 
or medium through which the soul mind can 
transmit to your material mind any intelligence 
upon any question, you are gaining a knowl- 
edge of that question. 

When a thing is presented to you in a way 
that it causes you to think, that thought has 
begun to evolve in that part of the brain an 
avenue peculiar to the thing of which you are 
thinking and that creates within the tissues of 



44 Psychology Simplified 

the brain an active condition. That active 
condition develops the tissues of the brain. 
While these tissues are developing, all of the 
other tissues of the brain are inactive. When 
you have pursued that line of thought to a 
conclusion upon that matter, you have fully 
developed that avenue of the brain and you 
have placed it at the command of your soul 
mind, through which it can transmit to your 
material mind any intelligence that you may 
desire upon that question. That is preparing 
another convolution of the brain. A certain 
line of thought peculiar to that convolution has 
brought to you a development of that avenue 
of the brain. 

There are many other avenues contained 
within that convolution of the brain, and when 
you come into contact with another proposition 
along the same line of thought, the develop- 
ment of that convolution has prepared you to 
solve that proposition without any great effort 
upon your part because you have at your com- 
mand another avenue in that convolution of 
the ,bi\am to assist you in solving that proposi- 



Evolution op Mind 45 

tion. For instance, if some object is brought 
before you and, in looking at the object, you 
are able to compare it by the avenue of your 
brain that is developed, at once you can 
determine what the object is. Otherwise, you 
would never become interested at all in that 
object. 

The human being is the only being in the 
material universe, that possesses a possibility 
of an intelligence that emanates from the soul 
mind. We know that no other being can 
possess this intelligence, because they have 
not the power within themselves to evolve. 
Then we say that man is the highest being in 
the material universe. 

The material mind of a man begins its 
evolution in infancy. It is just as weak, just 
as incompetent in the beginning as it is possible 
to conceive of incompetency. As the brain of 
that child develops, it is evolving a material 
mind. That mind is equal to the knowledge of 
that child. It can never go beyond that. It can 
be taught and can learn just as fast as you are 
able to evolve that child's mind. It begins to 



46 Psychology Simplified 

know and appreciate things just as fast as it 
can know them. Its material mind operates 
through the avenues that it has learned to use. 

It is thought that after a person reaches the 
age of maturity, that they cannot remember 
things that occur like they could in childhood 
days. The reason that this is true is that in 
the child it is developing the avenues of it? 
brain and when there is only one thing in its 
brain, it is easy to remember that, but suppose 
there are added to that storehouse of knowledge 
ten things each day of that child's life, in fifty 
years you would have a volume of information 
that is impossible for it to call to mind at once. 

After we grow older, having had so much 
/experience in life, things must attract our 

attention before we consider them sufficiently 
' strong to place them away in our memory for 

future purposes. 

Taking into consideration the life and ex- 
perience of men, the things that they have 
learned throughout their lifetime, the things 
that have come into their lives by so many 
ways, make it easier to forget them. 



Evolution op Mind 47 

A man's memory, is just as good the last 
year of his life as at any time during his life. 
The only thing is, he does not give things the 
consideration in his after years that he gave 
them in the earlier years of his life. Lethargy 
is the cause of forgetfulness. 

Children are continually coming into 
contact with things and are developing the 
convolutions of their brain. In gaining a 
knowledge of things, they are developing their 
brain and, ten years after, they will remember 
having seen that before and call to mind every- 
thing that occurred in connection with it. 

In the absence of the development of an 
avenue of the brain, you do not have the proper 
balance in reaching decisions upon questions. 

All avenues of the brain should have at 
least some development which prepares you to 
consider any proposition that may come before 
you at any time during your life. You must 
make the effort in some way to evolve a field 
in which your material mind can operate, other- 
wise, in after years, if it should be necessary 
for you to pass on any proposition which re- 



48 Psychology Simplified 

quires the services of these avenues, you are 
entirely lost and unable to make up your mind. 
Possibly there might be something of value 
to you in considering that question, yet you 
are unprepared to make any decision. If you 
have made an effort to develop, to some extent, 
every avenue of your brain, you are not en- 
tirely lost at the time upon any question that 
may come before you. 

If a person has certain avenues undeveloped, 
and inactive and without any warning upon 
his part a proposition is presented to him 
that is worth his consideration and that avenue 
of his brain is dormant it cannot appeal to him 
in any way from any standpoint-it may cause 

j him to think but, as I have told you, you must 
always think before you can act. It will re- 

: quire enough time for you to think and evolve 
in your brain an avenue peculiar to that line of 
work before you can intelligently consider that 
proposition. After you have done that it may 
be too late for vou to be benefitted bv that 
proposition. . 

Within the human brain and its convo- 



Evolution of Mind 49 

lutions, there are certain convolutions that 
exert greater influences over the life than other 
convolutions. The convolutions of the brain 
in which a greater number of avenues are de- 
veloped will predominate your life. 

The influences of those convolutions of the 
brain that carry the greatest volume of in- 
telligence, is greater than the influence of the 
avenues of your brain, which serves to you as 
a field in which your material mind can operate 
in the low planes of life. The convolutions of 
the brain in which is evolved the higher 
thoughts of life, are greater in number than the 
convolutions with which you think upon the 
low material planes. 

When man was created, he was given a 
greater power to govern intelligently. There 
are a great many people in the world who have 
not developed to any extent those convolutions 
that lead them to the good influences of life, 
love, mercy, truth and all of the things by which 
they influence everyone around them to a 
better plane of life. The reason why this is 
true is because their environment has been. 



50 Psychology Simplified 

such that it develops those avenues of the 
brain which predominate greec^Jiatred and 
things of that nature. It is their environment 
that has made them what they are. The only 
way by which these things can be overcome 
is by presenting thoughts to them and thereby 
evolving other avenues of the brain. You 
might just as well talk about building a ship 
to go to one of the planets as to talk about 
changing a mans life from evil to good without 
preparing the avenues and convolutions of his 
brain in which to evolve this kind of a life. 
That is the reason why there are so many 
failures in reforming the life of a person. 

Perhaps it w r as through untiring efforts of 
a friend or loved one that you were evolved to 
a higher and better plane of life. Everyone is 
equal to the possibility of the material mind 
which is the continual process of evolution 
when properly exercised. 

The way to success must be carefully and 
thoroughly paved if you reach it of your own 
accord. If it is thrust upon you by the efforts 
of someone else without first preparing you to 



Evolution of Mind 51 

receive it, it will be of short duration, it will 
be as seed sown by the wayside it will soon be 
consumed by fleeting pleasures. 

By a proper development of the brain, you 
can look at a man and instantly tell the plane 
of life that he is living upon and you will be 
able to adjust yourself to the same plane of 
life which will put you in tune with him and 
enable you to impart knowledge to him to 
the limit of your ability to do so. It will re- 
quire an effort on your part to determine those 
things. It will not come to you instantly. 

Some men cannot raise wheat ; some cannot 
raise corn ; some cannot raise the various kinds 
of vegetables, because of their psychic effect 
upon those things. It governs everything- in 
your life from the least to the greatest. The 
first thing that people should do, is to have an 
intelligent understanding of themselves. 

When the doctor goes to a patient and 
cannot diagnose the case, cannot become 
interested in it to the extent that the patient 
is thoroughly convinced of his ability to handle 
the case, it is conclusive proof that the doctor 



52 Psychology Simplified 

does not understand the plane of life the patient 
lives and thinks upon, neither does he under- 
stand himself well enough to put himself in 
tune with his patient, the result is he is unable 
to handle the case. 

A proper evolution of the material mind 
will avoid all failures of this kind and is the 
road to success not only in this, but every other 
profession of life. 

What the world needs most to-day is a 
better developed brain and less theory which 
would save millions of our fellow travelers 
from premature journeys across the great wall 
of thought where theory has no abiding place. 

The science governing the evolution of 
mind emanated from the unlimited and is 
unlimited in securing results when scientifical- 
ly applied to the human being. When the mind 
has been properly developed it will put you in 
touch with the scientific law that will produce 
the desired result if in harmony with the laws 
of nature. 

Everything in the Universe is governed by 



Evolution op Mind 53 

law, that law emanated from the All-Wise 
Creator and is absolutely perfect from every 
standpoint. It never varies. It is just the 
same as going out in your orchard and finding 
a perfect peach tree. If a man comes along and 
asks you the question. "How often does that 
peach tree bear plums?" You would know 
something was wrong. That is just as in- 
telligent as thousands of questions that are 
asked by people and they seem so simple 
because you are so accustomed to the peach 
tree. If you had never seen a peach tree in 
your life, you would if somebody told you it 
bore plums, believe them, because you had no 
intelligent understanding of that tree. Scientific 
law governs that peach tree. Every time that 
tree bears fruit, it will be peaches. You cannot 
change that law but you can defeat the purpose 
of that law by destroying the tree. 

If you want to gain a knowledge of the hu- 
man being, you must go to the human being for 
that knowledge. If you understand the human 
being sufficiently to know of what he is com- 
posed, you are ready to proceed intelligently 



34 Psychology Simplified 

as to what that being may perform. You can 
never learn the possibilities of a man until you 
have learned the entire composition (soul, body 
and spirit) of a man. If you have not learned 
all this the part which you have not learned may 
be of great importance. 

The brain is the instrument in which the 
material mind develops from infancy to dissolu- 
tion. The material mind has no other home, 
it has no other abiding place, it has no other 
field of operation, it has no other purpose to 
serve, only man. It has no other life to live, 
only the present life. As the avenues of the 
brain are developed the material mind grows 
strong. It widens its field of operation. If 
you want your material mind to assist you 
upon any proposition, you must prepare its 
home so that it will increase its power to 
operate. 

There is a great difference between the 
material mind and the soul of man. The 
material mind is as great as the development 
of the brain. That is the reason why we call 
it the material mind. When we speak of the 



Evolution op Mind 55 

material mind, we are speaking of the mind 
that lives, operates and develops in the brain. 

The environments of a man are responsible 
for his thoughts and it is impossible for a 
man to control his environments. If the en- 
vironments surrounding a man has been such 
that it has developed certain avenues of his 
brain, it is impossible for him to think other- 
wise than the way he thinks. If an avenue of 
his brain is fully developed, in spite of every- 
thing he may do, he will entertain thoughts of 
that nature, because those thoughts are a part 
of him, a part of his life which is true with 
reference to every line of thought. 

It is impossible for a man to think one kind 
of a life and live another kind. They may suc- 
ceed for the time being but just as sure as 
they entertain thoughts along a certain line, 
they will become a part of them and begin to 
live these thoughts every day of their lives. 
The responsibility comes with us in entertain- 
ing these thoughts, knowing them to be good 
or evil. 

It is impossible to change a scientific law, 



56 Psychology Simplified 

that law will govern man's life until by the 
evolution of thought you set in motion within 
your brain another scientific law. When that 
scientific law has evolved the brain to the 
extent that he has an active working under- 
standing of that proposition, then the avenues 
that were active begin to lose their power of 
action and the other ones are gaining their 
power to govern and control that man's life. 

Some people will say that a man is one 
way today and another way tomorrow, a man 
differs in his life each* day, then the scientific 
law governing a man must necessarily change. 
That cannot be true, simply because he is using 
an avenue of his brain today that is governed 
by a scientific law if he should live fifty years, 
every time he sets in motion the scientific law 
governing that avenue, his life will be the 
same. Tomorrow another avenue of his brain 
may be active. The reason why it becomes 
active is because that man has set in motion the 
scientific law governing that avenue of his 
brain. There is a scientific law governing every 
human being's brain and the avenues you are 



Evolution of Mind 57 

using. That scientific law is preparing to give 
to that avenue the power to operate and to you 
the understanding of every proposition that you 
are trying to solve which requires the exercise 
of that avenue of the brain to reach and under- 
stand all the proposition. 

Every scientific law in the material universe 
is related to each other. The relationship 
existing both to the human being and to every- 
thing in nature. 



58 The Mind's Mind 

Chapter III. 

THE MIND'S MIND. 

The material mind of a normal man is equal 
to his knowledge of things. It uses the various 
avenues of the brain, through which it receives 
and imparts knowledge to its full capacity. In 
this mind thoughts are evolved. We clothe 
these thoughts in words and express them. 
These thoughts grow until they influence our 
lives, become a part of us and we live them in 
our life. Sometimes we hear the expression, 
"I did it before I thought". This is impossible, 
no one can do a thing that is not, or has not been 
thought out to a decision in his mind. You 
have decided in your mind at sometime in your 
life, just what you would do under those cir- 
cumstances, otherwise, you would not act until 
you thought what to do. 

The material mind is not capable of acting 
until it is prepared by development to act. It 
needs to be cared for and exercised the same as 
our bodies in order that it may develop and 



The Mind's Mind 59 

grow strong, which increases its usefulness. It 
must be taught to act before it can act. Its 
sphere of operation is within the brain. It is 
dependent upon both the soul and body for 
its existence and power to operate. The brain 
is its home. It has no power to act in the ab- 
sence of the spirit. The spirit can not operate 
the brain in the absence of the intelligence. The 
spirit is dependent upon the soul, the brain 
upon the spirit and the material mind upon the 
brain. 

Mind being the only thing capable of trans- 
mitting intelligence and as a thing can not be 
superior to the thing from which it emanated, 
therefore, the material mind is limited to the 
development of the brain in its field of opera- 
tion. If all the avenues of the brain were fully 
developed, the material mind would be un- 
limited in its operation through the brain, it 
being limited to one brain through which to 
operate. To have all the avenues in the brain 
developed would require the All-Wise Creator 
to intercede and develop them for us. He has 
given us the avenues to develop and the ability 



60 Psychology Simplified 

to develop them. If we do our best we have 
done enough in the short time we have on this 
plane of life. We are not responsible for not 
doing a thing which is impossible for us to do. 
We can only do our best, this everyone can do. 
Everyone should desire to be useful. The 
greater the development of your brain, the 
greater your usefulness will be. 

The material mind is dependent upon the 
brain for its existence. It grows and develops 
with the brain and ceases to operate when the 
brain becomes inactive. No brain, no material 
mind to operate, there being no instrument for 
it to operate through. It is peculiarly adapted 
to the brain, it sleeps and takes its rest the 
same as the brain does. It is wholly uncon- 
scious during the time we sleep and it becomes 
active when we awaken. 

We have another mind superior to this mind 
within us, which is not wholly dependent upon 
our brain for its operation, neither does it sleep 
and take rest like our material mind does. Now 
let us see if we can solve this question and 
make our connection. 



The Mind's Mind 61 

The material mind which is an outgrowth 
of the brain and is dependent upon the avenues 
of the brain for a place in which to operate, 
must necessarily be dependent upon the same 
thing for its existence that the brain is. If there 
is no brain, there is no instrument to which the 
power can be applied. So the spirit or power 
cannot produce a material mind in the absence 
of a brain for it to develop in. The spirit, brain 
and material mind are dependent upon a 
superior power to apply them, that they may 
operate intelligently. The soul is possessed 
of the intelligence to do this. 

The material mind has not the power within 
itself to operate itself. The brain has not the 
power within itself to operate independently 
and the spirit is not possessed of the intelligence 
to apply and operate itself independently; 
then the evidence is conclusive that all of these 
are dependent upon a higher source of in- 
telligence to apply and operate them. This 
higher or superior intelligence is the soul mind. 
It has the power and intelligence inherent 



62 Psychology Simplified 

within it to apply and operate the spirit through 
the brain in evolving the material mind. 

The soul mind is capable of maintaining its 
existence and operating independent of the 
human being, and is in no way dependent upon 
it for its existence. The human being together 
with all the functions of the brain and body, 
including the material mind, are wholly depend- 
ent upon the soul mind for their power to 
operate. The spirit is that which connects the 
soul and body. In the absence of the spirit, 
the soul cannot operate through the body. 

The material mind can only solve such ques- 
tions as come within the range of its knowledge 
and development, which is limited to the 
avenues of the brain. The spirit is both human 
and divine in its nature, forming a perfect union 
between the soul and body. It partakes of the 
nature of both. 

The soul mind is unlimited in solving all 
problems. It emanated from the unlimited and 
is unlimited within itself w T hile it is limited 
when operating through the body, yet its plane 
of operation is not limited to the body. The 



The Mind's Mind 63 

soul mind knows no limit, only when operating 
through the body. It is not limited in knowl- 
edge, but it is limited in transmitting its 
knowledge to the material mind by the develop- 
ment of the avenues of the brain through which 
it transmits intelligence. The soul mind is 
our real being and preserves our identity. The 
soul is unlimited in its knowledge, wisdom and 
power, it being in touch with the unlimited 
from which it emanated and has inherent within 
it unending life. 

As the material mind is dependent upon the 
soul mind for its existence and power to de- 
velop and operate, then the soul mind governs 
and controls the material mind. The soul mind 
is the material mind's mind. The soul mind 
assists the material mind in performing its work 
to the full extent of the development of the 
avenues of the brain through which the material 
mind operates. 

The soul mind can see, hear and express 
itself independent of the body in a way so that 
the material mind can understand what is being 
said and done. It can go at the dead hour of 



64 Psychology Simplified 

night when your body, brain and material mind 
is wrapt in deep slumber, and perform a work 
that is impossible for you to perform while you 
are awake. When it is properly and intelligenly 
directed it can remove diseased conditions 
while you. sleep, that cannot be removed by 
you when you are awake. We should always 
express our utmost confidence in the ability of 
our soul mind to remove diseased conditions at 
any time and at any distance. You will not be 
disappointed if you will give it the proper di- 
rections, as to what you want it to do. Instruct 
it fully as to where you want it to go, stating the 
length of time you want it to put in on each 
case, with unlimited faith on your p-irt of its 
ability to do as you direct. You will be 
astonished at the results secured while you are 
sleeping soundly. The deeper you are wrapt in 
slumber, the greater the results will be. 

The soul mind does not possess creative 
power within itself. It is unlimited within 
itself to secure results by using that which 
exists, but it has not the power to produce a 
thing independent of that which exists. Creative 



The Mind's Mind 65 

power is inherent only in the All-Wise Creator 
from whom our souls emanated and upon whom 
it is dependent for its power to operate. If it 
did not have access to this unlimited source of 
all things it would be powerless to operate and 
would cease to exist. This being true, that the 
soul mind is dependent upon the All-Wise In- 
telligence for its power to operate, our con- 
clusion must necessarily be, that the All- Wise 
Intelligence is the soul mind's mind. He is 
the source of all intelligence limited and un- 
limited. 

When the scientific laws are properly and 
scientifically applied there would be perfect 
harmony all along the line, from the brain to 
the All-Wise Creator, which is the source of 
all intelligence, truth, love, mercy and all things 
to elevate and uplift the human race on their 
journey from plane to plane; on and on, higher 
and higher until we lay aside mortality and 
enter the plane of perfection. This intelligence 
will still guide our footsteps until we reach the 
plane that knows no bounds ; the plane for 
which all other planes were created, the home 



66 Psychology Simplified 

of the soul, where there is no past, present or 
future, but all is now ; where time and space 
are not reckoned as we count and measure it 
now with our material minds. 

It is just beyond the great Avail of thought. 

When a loved one passes over the Great 
Divide, and we are not informed of their de- 
parture, they are just across the way in another 
city and we expect to see and sometime be 
associated with them. In our mind we see 
them busily attending to the duties of life, 
but when we are informed of their departure 
we build a wall of thought between them 
and us by declaring that we cannot see 
and be associated with them any more on 
this plane. This wall of thought is built 
with all the power of our material minds 
which surrenders all hope of communication 
and physical contact with them. This wall has 
been built for ages and is still being built 
stronger each day along life's pathway. 

In passing across this wall the soul and 
soul mind undergoes no change within them- 
selves. They are possessed of the same in- 



The Mind's Mind 67 

telligence and the power to use it, as when 
they were on this physical plane. The soul 
minds on this plane are in constant telepathic 
communication with each other, but the chan- 
nel of thought through which it transmits all 
information gained in this way is closed and 
securely locked, not that you have not the 
power within you to unlock and keep them 
open, but because you do not will to do so. 

Your soul mind can get in touch with any 
other soul mind and secure any information 
desired, but it cannot give this information 
to the material mind so it can be known and 
appreciated by you, until you unlock the 
avenues of your brain through which the 
material mind receives all such information. 
All information claimed to have been received 
in any other way, or through other channels, 
is not susceptible to demonstration. Truth 
has always existed and can be received and ap- 
preciated by the material mind but it cannot 
be evolved in the material mind. Our thoughts 
regarding a thing with which we come in con- 
tact are evolved in the material mind, but those 



68 Psychology Simplified 

thoughts may be true or false. Because we 
think a thing, is by no means proof that our 
thoughts are true. When we get the truth 
regarding any proposition, we just simply get 
that which has always existed. 

A thing cannot rise higher than the source 
from which it emanated. This great wall of 
thought between the physical and immortal 
planes is thought to be impregnable by a ma- 
jority of people. While we do not deny that 
it can be penetrated by living beings and 
messages obtained from departed ones but 
I have never met one who could do so, not 
because it is impossible to do so but because 
their efforts are directed in the wrong channel 
to get the proper connection. However, there 
are certain scientific laws that cannot be 
overcome, and to defeat them in their oper- 
ation is beyond the power of the human being 
to do. 

People have become confused as to the 
messages from their departed friends. A 
message may be formulated in the mind of a 
person while living, with a full determination 



The Mind's Mind 69 

on the part of a person formulating it, to de- 
liver the message to the one for whom it was 
intended and they depart this life without de- 
livering the message. Sometime later the mes- 
sabe is received by someone and delivered to 
the one for whom it is intended and he is told 
that it is a message from his departed loved 
one. Messages are continually being received 
in this way. These messages were not for- 
mulated by the person after departing this life. 
I have received many messages of this kind. 
These are not messages from departed friends 
sent by them after they have passed The Great 
Divide. These kind of messages have been 
known to exist for years after the one who had 
formulated them had passed away and then 
be delivered to the one for whom they were in- 
tended. These messages are received by the 
soul mind and transmitted to the material mind 
through the avenues of the brain which had 
been developed sufficiently for the soul mind 
to operate through them. 

The soul mind can give the correct answer 
to any question of the material mind, if your 



70 Psychology Simplified 

m/aterial mind is prepared to receive it. The 
All-Wise Creator, from whom our souls 
emanated, knows all things. There is nothing 
which is hidden from him and, as like will pro- 
duce like, our souls are unlimited in being 
able to obtain knowledge. 

The Great Spirit, from which our spirit 
emanated, is the power that was used and ap- 
plied by the All-Wise Creator in creating all 
things. The instrument, to which the spirit 
was applied, was the Word. So we have in 
every human being an exact likeness of the 
unlimited in a limited form. Our souls 
emanated from the Great Soul or All-Wise 
Creator. Our spirits emanated from the Great 
Spirit, and our bodies from the word. We 
are told that, "This word became flesh and 
dwelt among us". So we have the soul (in- 
telligence), Spirit (power), word (body). 
There was perfect harmony in the original 
there should be perfect harmony in the latter. 

The human race has fallen far short of what 
it should be. The human race today is more 
inclined to deteriorate than it is to evolve. A 



The Mind's Mind 71 

great per cent of them are content to live and 
think upon a low material plane of life. Some 
only exist because they have no other place 
to go. 

Every effort of our life should be to evolve 
to a higher and purer plane, where we can live 
a greater and broader life; where we can be 
more useful in our day and generation, where 
we can be a power in filling the world w r ith 
deeds of love and mercy, where we can invite 
our fellow-travelers to come higher and lend 
them a helping hand. 

The grandest thing in one's life is to see 
good in everything everywhere. To live upon 
this plane of life is worth the effort that is 
necessary in order to obtain it. 

The greater the development of the avenues 
of the brain the greater the material mind is 
capacitated to apprecciate the good things of 
life and enjoy them. It broadens your field of 
operation in which to do good. 

The power or ability to evolve to the highest 
plane in the material universe is inherent in the 



72 Psychology Simplified 

human being and can be exercised at his will. 
To will is to set in operation the spirit within 
you. The will is controlled in its operation by 
the material mind. When you will that the 
soul mind remove diseased conditions you are 
admitting that the £otil mind is superior to the 
material mind and can perform work that can- 
not be performed by the material mind. 

Your psychic influence is equal to your 
ability to will intelligently. Your ability to 
will intelligently is dependent upon your plane 
of life. The lower the plane upon which you 
are living the greater the carnal and material 
things such as lust, selfishness, hatred and 
greed will be manifested in your life. On this 
plane of life the avenues of amativeness, self- 
esteem and desturction are fully developed and 
the entire power of soul and body are active 
in accomplishing things of this nature. The 
avenues of reason are dormant in a life of this 
nature. The power is inherent in us to over- 
come this nature and to evolve to a higher 
plane of life, where we partake of the nature 
of Him who is love, truth, mercy and good- 



The Mind's Mind 73 

ness ; where all the world will be blessed by 
us having lived and the un-born generations 
will rise up and point the finger of pride at us 
for having sown the seed of knowledge by 
which they are blessed with the privilege of 
gathering the flowers all along their pathway. 



74 Mental Telepathy 

Chapter IV. 
MENTAL TELEPATHY 

This is a subject that has been thought of 
a great deal but there has been very little ser- 
ious investigation of it. People have believed 
for years that there was such a thing as mental 
telepathy but for some cause they have stayed 
entirely clear of any serious examination of 
the question to the extent that it could be de- 
termined just what it is. 

To know all the field covered by it one must 
first understand the nature of a human being". 
Otherwise, an investigation of this question 
would be fruitless and, because of the field 
which it covers, it would be impossible to get 
a working hypothesis. 

Mental telepathy is operated by a union of 
the material and soul mind. In the absence 
of a proper understanding of the operation of 
the soul mind, mental telepathy would be im- 
possible and, without a knowledge of how to 
govern and control the operation of the material 



Mental Telepathy 75 

mind, it would be impossible to transmit a 
message by mental telepathy. 

The great mistake that people have made 
in past ages, and even at the present time, is 
that they think the transmission of a message 
by mental telepathy does not require an exact 
and definite plan upon which to operate. This 
question is like every other question with 
which you have to do. There is a law that 
governs the performing of this science and one 
must understand how to apply the law in order 
to succeed in transmitting a message. 

The time will soon come when the world 
will have a recognized system of mental tele- 
pathy. Every human being uses it to some 
extent but, in order that you may do so in- 
telligently, you must understand }how it is 
performed. 

If at any time anyone has giv£n to the 
world a scientific method upon which to oper- 
ate mental telepathy I have never been able 
to find it. It has only been in the last ten 
years that I really thought that I understood 
the manner of operating it while for thirty- 



76 Psychology Simplified 

five years I have been able to transmit 
messages from mind to mind. 

There have been many things in the past 
thirty-five years that have seemed easy to be 
done but, to me, they were as dark as the dark- 
est night of life. 

If you will do what I tell you to do it will 
only be a matter of time until you can transmit 
a message any distance and that message will 
be undersoood by the one that you intend to 
receive it. 

In order to transmit a message by mental 
telepathy you must do as the man does who 
sends a message upon the wire. He knows the 
form of each word that he has written, he opens 
his instrument and transmits that message 
word by word over the wire. If the instrument 
at the point of receiving the message was not 
in tune and properly arranged the person to 
whom the message was sent would never re- 
ceive it on account of the condition of his 
instrument. The two instruments being 
identically alike the message is received at the 



Mental Telepathy 77 

other point by the operator who is there for 
that purpose. 

You must not transmit a message by mental 
telepathy until you get in tune with the one to 
whom you are sending the message. As soon 
as you make up the message that you mean to 
send, writing it word by word until you have 
completed it, using the words that express the 
exact thought that you wish to transmit, you 
have just begun the work of sending the 
message. You have done just what the oper- 
ator has done when he finished writing the 
message he intended to send. 

After you have completed this part of your 
work you must get in touch with your soul 
mind. You must tell your soul mind that you 
have a message to be delivered to a person by 
the name of John Doe, that you want that 
message delivered at 2 :15 A. M., that you want 
the person receiving that message to under- 
stand the entire meaning of the message de- 
livered. The message I want delivered at this 
hour is, "I want to see you on important busi- 
ness/' 



78 Psychology Simplified 

You have prepared your message and de- 
livered it to your soul mind. You are through 
with your part of the work. Dismiss it from 
your mind entirely. Go to sleep and at 2:15 
A. M. your soul mind will deliver that message 
to the soul mind of John Doe and immediately 
on receiving that message his material mind 
will understand that you have sent the message 
and that he is wanted at once. If there is 
anything that interferes with him going he 
may telephone to you, to say the least he will 
write to you that very day. 

These things have been demonstrated over 
and over again. About fifteen years ago a com- 
mittee was selected to see whether or not a 
message could be delivered by mental telep- 
athy, to try to determine the distance that the 
message could be delivered and to see if it 
were possible to receive a reply. The com- 
mittee waited upon me in my office and asked 
me to deliver the message to a lady living about 
eight hundred miles distant. In the presence 
of that committee I sent the message. Just 
two days from that day a member of the com- 



Mental Telepathy 79 

mittee received a letter from the lady to whom 
this message was delivered and she told him 
the very things we were discussing in the 
message. They immediately tried to find out if 
I had sent a telegram and there was no record 
of any sent from the town where w r e w r ere. 

After discussing the matter they remem- 
bered that no one had mentioned the lady's 
name. All this happened before they allowed 
me to see the letter. This lady sat down at 
almost the exact hour that this committee was 
in my office and wrote that letter. 

It is possible to transmit a message any 
distance. There are various things done by 
mental telepathy. We are only beginning to 
evolve a system. It is just beginning to dawn 
upon the minds of the people what can be 
accomplished in this way. 

The same principal by which a message is 
transmitted from mind to mind is being oper- \ / 
ated by wireless telegraphy. The only way by 
which a message can be transmitted by wireless 
telegraphy is to make two instruments identic- 
ally alike, put these two instruments in tune 



80 Psychology Simplified 

with each other and then when you send a 
message it is carried to the instrument that is 
in tune and will vibrate upon that instrument 
and they know by the vibrations what the 
message is. 

It has been made possible to send messages 
anywhere in the world where there is an in- 
strument to receive it. If that instrument were 
not in tune with the instrument from which the 
message was transmitted it would never receive 
the message, but, being in tune, the same mo- 
tion in the instrument transmitting the message 
is produced in the instrument receiving the 
message. 

Just as a telegraph message is conveyed by 
the wires, as a phone message is conveyed by 
wire, as sound is conveyed by atmosphere, 
thoughts are conveyed by ether. 

People have looked upon thoughts as idle 
pastime but every thought going from your 
mind lives until some mind in tune with your 
mind gets that thought. That is the ordinary 
way of thoughts living and being received by 
someone but, to send a message mentally, you 



Mental Telepathy 81 

must be exact in your mind as to the delivering 
of that message to the one for whom it is in- 
tended. When the hour arrives for it to be 
delivered you may be sound asleep and the 
message, will be delivered. 

It is possible to prepare a message and have 
it delivered at any hour during the night while 
you are asleep, that message being of a nature, 
when received by the soul mind of a person and 
the soul mind of that person applying the 
message to the physical being, to reduce fever 
at any distance. 

It is going to be so after awhile that all 
that will be necessary will be to call the doctor 
and tell him that you need help. He will not 
have to come, he can formulate a message and 
deliver it to the patient that will change his 
physical condition and relieve him in a very 
short time. 

These things are being done but are not 
done in a scientific way. The power is within 
every human being to do them but every one 
cannot do them, not because it is- impossible 
for them to prepare themselves to do them, but 



82 Psychology Simplified 

because they do not will that they prepare 
themselves. 

You can blindfold me and put me up before 
one hundred people and I will tell you the 
volume of thoughts governing them, whether 
they want me to speak or whether they have 
any interest in what I say. If their thoughts 
are adverse to my speaking I will never become 
interested in my subject but if I have the 
volume of thought of these minds favorable 
to me it is possible to say what I meant to 
say. These things are done by preparing the 
mind to receive them. It is necessary, if you 
want to work intelligently along these lines, to 
learn how to prepare your mind to send 
messages. 

If you are wanting to attract messages or 
thoughts upon any line to you you must first 
learn concentration. You must teach yourself 
how not to think. You must leave your mind 
in a position that you are not thinking. 
Thoughts continually come to the surface. 
There are two ways by which we think, one 
by effort and the other psychically. 



Mental Telepathy 83 

The best way you can prepare your mind 
to concentrate is to place it upon the tick of a 
watch. Have someone come and move the 
watch without you hearing them move it, you 
will still hear the tick. I have been able to 
hear the tick of a watch, by concentration, for 
the distance of twenty feet. By learning to 
concentrate you can attract messages and 
thoughts. These things may seem peculiar but 
they are true and anyone who may desire to 
test themselves will be surprised at the con ect 
transmission of messages. 

There are things that cannot be accom- 
plished without this combination of forces. 
These things enter into every profession. They 
enter into and become a part of every one's life 
who is successful. It is like many other things 
with which we come in contact. 

People attribute some things to a higher 
power than that possessed by a human being. 
They perform a work and say that God did it 
through them when the truth is that they 
possessed the power within themselves and not 
only do they possess it but every normal human 



84 Psychology Simplified 

being possesses the same power if developed. 
If man was created with these powers inherent 
in him why are they there unless the Creator 
intended him to use them? Man was never 
given a work to do without the ability to per- 
form that work. 
' 

The question may come to you why did the 
Creator create you and give you the desire to 
do evil? Because you could not know good 
unless there was evil. It would be impossible 
for good to exist unless evil existed. If we had 
no evil to overcome we could not gain strength 
for good. If He had not given you the power 
to do evil He would have been an unjust 
Creator to have given you the power to do 
good. It makes you a responsible being. There 
is always a negative to every affirmative and 
the power is in you to choose between the two. 

In the study of mental telepathy you are 
raising yourself to a higher plane of life. You 
are getting yourself away from the material 
things and the further you get from them the 
greater your capacity to do good. 

If it is within your power to transmit 



Mental Telepathy 85 

messages to the soul minds of friends and by 
the transmission of those messages make them 
better you are doing one of the greatest things 
that can be accomplished. 

You cannot change a man's mind religously, 
by mental telepathy, if he has been educated 
along religious lines, neither can you change 
his mind morally, if he is educated along moral 
lines. The only way you can change a person's 
morals is by oral suggestion, appealing to the 
better things within them. By doing that you 
can cause the soul mind of that man to arouse 
the material mind to act along the line that will 
have a tendency to elevate him. 

All the principals of psychology scientific- 
ally applied, will elevate every human being. 
There is nothing of a psychic nature that does 
not carry with it an elevating influence. When 
you are dealing with psychology you are deal- 
ing with that which emanates from the soul 
of man. Evil things emanate from the material 
mind and, unless the soul mind overcomes 
them, the entire life will be evil. The only 
redeeming thing about a human being is his 



86 Psychology Simplified 

soul. The soul mind will, if possible, arouse 
the material mind to act intelligently upon 
every proposition and, by so doing, elevate the 
man to a different plane of life. We reach the 
higher planes by evolution. 

The soul mind of man is that which evolves 
within him a nature and desire to become 
elevated until he reaches a plane where evil 
things have lost their control over him. When 
the intellectual nature in a human being has 
evolved to the point where it predominates 
the life of man he is admitting that the psychic 
has lead him. If the material nature predom- 
inates he is deteriorating instead of evolving. 

This evolution in man is governed by the 
soul mind. Every principal that will make him 
better emanates from the soul. With the 
principals governing man's life emanating 
from the soul man is elevated to a plane where 
justice and right predominate his entire being. 

Man is capacitated to perform work of any 
nature except that which is performed by creat- 
ive power. He is limited to forming things out 
of that which exists. With the proposition be- 



Mental Telepathy 87 

fore us that man is only limited by creative 
power we are ready to proceed with our in- 
vestigation of the subject under consideration. 

There must be principals upon which a 
science is based. Mental telepathy is a science 
and I will establish this fact. It is based upon 
principals and by evolving these principals into 
a system I have evolved a system of mental 
telepathy. After having established the fact 
that there is a system by which mental telep- 
athy is operated it becomes necessary for us to 
gain a knowledge of that system and by so 
doing we come into the principals upon which 
the science is based. Then it becomes neces- 
sary for us to be able to execute the principals 
in order to set in operation the system. 

It requires a preparation peculiar to that 
line of work. When we have prepared the in- 
strument, which is the body and brain of man, 
to set in motion the principals of which the 
system of mental telepathy is composed it is 
possible for us to see and appreciate the results. 
These six principals that I have just mentioned 
give us the basic principals of mental telepathy. 



88 Psychology Simplified 

Upon these principals it must stand or fall. 

Mental telepathy is governed by a scientific 
law and, when reduced to a system, with the 
principals set forth scientifically applied, the 
results are always sure and the same. There 
should be no limit but because of the unde- 
veloped brain, limitations have prevented man 
from becoming able to scientifically and ac- 
curately deliver messages in this way. 

There are preparations necessary that re- 
quire a great effort on the part of man to over- 
come but, by proper and continued effort on 
his part these limitations, little by little, will be 
overcome. 

If a thing is not founded on truth it can 
never become a science. The principals upon 
which scientific propositions are based contain 
within them a true relationship to that proposi- 
tion. The truth that is associated with the 
science of mental telepathy composes the 
principals contained in the system. 

You must understand at this point that the 
subject under consideration is entirely different 



Mental Telepathy 89 

from oral suggestion. The ways, by which a 
man can be reached and influenced by mental 
telepathy are : any messages you may desire to 
send to anyone, if the person to whom you are 
sending the message is informed upon that 
line of work or, in any way associated with it, 
he can receive that message and his material 
mind can understand the entire message. 

A man cannot become an operator of wire- 
less telegraphy until he has learned the 
principals by which it is operated. He must 
have a knowledge of the instrument he uses 
and the code used, not only is that true, but 
he must have a knowledge of how to receive 
messages sent. This all requires time. It re- 
quires a working knowledge. 

The laws gOA^erning mental telepathy are 
just as exact as the laws governing the bearing 
of fruit on the peach tree. The law governing 
that tree never changes. There is no excep- 
tion to this rule. 

The transmission of a message by mental 
telepathy requires, upon the part of the oper- 
ator, a knowledge of the law governing that 



90 Psychology Simplified 

message or the preparing of it and unless you 
can, within your brain, evolve a way by which 
you can intelligently prepare that message you 
are not in a position to operate. 

When we think upon this question some- 
times we are a little inclined to trespass upon 
the rights of nature in our thoughts in that we 
attribute the performing of certain things to a 
power superior to that possessed by man. You 
may study and plan until your life's work is 
ended and you cannot devise a way by which 
you can formulate a message of any nature 
without the use and exercise of the avenues 
that are contained within the convolutions of 
the brain. 

You cannot receive a message that has been 
sent until you have accurately prepared the 
avenues in your brain so the message can be 
delivered through that avenue to the material 
mind. 

Everything that is must have its boundaries 
or the performing of the work peculiar to that 
thing would be indefinite. Every principal of 
mental telepathy is subject to the material 



Mental Telepathy 91 

mind, which is limited to the development of 
the avenue of the brain. Otherwise it would 
be impossible for a man to solve the proposi- 
tion of what mental telepathy is. It would 
be impossible for a man to determine what the 
principals were governing the sending of a 
message unless the All-Wise Creator should 
prepare him for this service. It is impossible 
for a science to be given to the human family 
until the brain of man is properly prepared to 
impart that knowledge. 

There are two ways that messages are 
applied to the one receiving them. I have told 
you the first one, the second one is that a 
message can be prepared and delivered to the 
soul mind, that message dealing wholly with 
the physical part of man ; the soul mind can 
deliver that message to the soul mind of the 
person that you desire it should be delivered 
to and that soul mind can apply that message 
to the physical body and brain without that 
person having any knowledge whatever of how 
it is being done. 

If a man understands the law governing the 



92 Psychology Simplified 

various systems of the body, he can formulate 
a message by his material mind, deliver that 
message to his soul mind with instructions that 
his soul mind deliver that message to another 
soul mind with the instructions that it perform 
a work in that man changing the function of 
any organ of his body to a normal condition 
and the instructions will be carried out though 
you may be sleeping soundly. The soul mind 
of that man will perform that work identically 
as you have instructed your soul mind in the 
message to the soul mind of that person. 

Anyone understanding the law governing 
mental telepathy can, in this way, transmit a 
message to anyone that he desires and the soul 
mind of the one receiving the message can 
absolutely reduce the pulsations in that man. 
Not only can you do that but by formulating a 
definite message, with instruction, you can in- 
crease the pulsations of that man though he be 
wrapt in slumber. 

The material mind of a man understanding 
the law governing mental telepathy, can formu- 
late a message, deliver that message to his 



Mental Telepathy 93 

soul mind with the instructions that the 
message be delivered at 1 :00 A. M., and that 
message is that the soul mind of that person 
arouse the material mind of the person 
receiving the message so that he will awaken 
at 1 :00 A. M. You can go sound asleep and 
sleep through the entire period and your soul 
mind will deliver that message to the soul 
mind of the one you desire to receive it and at 
1 :00 A. M. his soul mind will awaken him. 

The material mind can prepare a message, 
deliver it to the soul mind with instructions as 
to whom it is to be delivered, the hour and 
minute, and the message is that you desire the 
person receiving it to fall asleep at 10:00 P. M. 
The person receiving the message will fall 
asleep though he may be one thousand miles 
from where you are. This has been demon- 
strated at a distance of two thousand miles. 
The only thing that prevents everyone from 
being able to do this is a lack of understanding 
of the principals contained in the system 
governing mental telepathy. 

Fifty years ago, if t a man had told the 



94 Psychology Simplified 

people that it would be possible to transmit 
a message by wireless telegraphy there would 
have been few people w r ho would have believed 
him. When you speak about a thing that 
seems impossible, the people, not having a 
knowledge of that thing, will laugh you to 
scorn because you make the statement. 

There are people living today who will look 
back over their lives and think about the time 
wdien they used a telephone, the time when they 
used a telegraph and it has been considered, 
for a long time that they were the only ways 
by which intelligence could be transmitted. 
At the present time the system of wireless 
telegraphy is a recognized system and is being 
used successfully. In the future we will have 
a system of wireless telephone, then will come 
the system of mental telepathy and the end 
is not yet. 

The brain is the greatest instrument in ex- 
istence. There is no instrument that in any 
way compares with it. From the brain of 
man emanated every invention that exists or 
has existed since time began. That being the 



Mental Telepathy 95 

field through which the material mind of man 
operates we find that it occupies a place in 
everything accomplished in the material uni- 
verse. 

The brain of man is the physical basis for 
the operation of mental telepathy. It is the 
alpha and omega of every message sent in this 
way. In the absence of the brain there would 
be no material mind and the soul mind could 
not transmit a message of any kind by mental 
telepathy. 

When the brain is developed sufficiently 
for you to transmit a message to your soul mind 
you are able to receive a message of the same 
nature from your soul mind. Now that you 
have prepared the medium, through which the 
material mind, operates, it is easy for you to 
reach your soul mind on any question of that 
nature. I say of that nature because each con- 
volution of the brain occupies a field peculiar 
to itself. 

You cannot draw upon one convolution of 
the brain for the solution of a proposition that 
is foreign to that convolution. When the 



96 Psychology Simplified 

avenues in a convolution are ^dormant that line 
of thought is as dark to you as midnight and 
it is impossible for you to receive a message 
through that avenue. It is just like a building 
with each opening closed and securely locked 
making it impossible for you to gain entrance. 

When you have gained a knowledge of the 
purpose of the various avenues in your brain 
you will be able to locate each avenue and tell 
the purpose for which it was intended. Man 
is practically unlimited, if normally developed. 
It puts your material mind in touch with your 
soul mind on every proposition existing. 

There is only one immovable limitation 
placed around man, that is creative power. No 
human being at any time will be able to per- 
form the feat of creation. You cannot create 
a disturbance any more easily than you can 
create a building or the sun, moon or stars. 
Man's brain does not include a plane upon 
which creative power can be exercised. I am 
using the word create in its primary meaning, 
which means to make something out of noth- 
ing. You say that you create a disturbance 



Mental Telepathy 97 

but you have everything necessary to do that, 
which is not creating it. 

In order that we may have a working hy- 
pothesis we must understand these things, for 
when you have given man creative power you 
have given him the same latitude as the All- 
Wise Creator. Man is limited to making things 
out of that which is given him. Provided that 
you have prepared the field through which 
the material mind operates, you have the 
power within yourself to formulate any mes- 
sage that you desire. After you have formu- 
lated that message in your brain, by the aid 
of your material mind and the channel leading 
to the material mind is open you can transmit 
that message through the avenues of the brain 
to your soul mind. 

That you may understand and operate in- 
telligently you must have confidence in your 
ability to deliver to your soul mind the message 
that you want delivered. This message could 
not have been sent by your material mind be- 
cause its field of operation is within your brain 
and when you sleep your material mind sleeps. 



98 Psychology Simplified 

Its duty is to assist in performing every work 
done during your waking hours. It is an in- 
strument that is subject to your command at 
the present time, so that you are not able to 
know what your soul mind is doing. It was 
not intended that you should know. 

Your material mind can formulate a mes- 
sage, deliver it to your soul mind and, before 
the time comes for the delivery of it, you 
may have passed across the Great Divide, how- 
ever, your message will be delivered at the hour 
you had instructed. 

The soul mind is always ready and at your 
command to deliver any message you may de- 
sire. It never makes a mistake, neither does 
it sleep and is always perfectly exact in per- 
forming its work if there should be any mis- 
take it would be on the part of your material 
mind or the material mind of the one receiving 
the message. If you sleep during the time 
the message is to be delivered you have re- 
moved everything that interferes with the soul 
mind and it operates with ease. 

The soul mind directs every pulsations of 



Mental Telepathy 99 

the heart, every respiration of the lungs and 
governs all the functions of every organ of the 
body, if allowed to operate normally. 

I have on numerous occasions prepared a 
message to be delivered at a certain hour dur- 
ing the night to a patient with the instructions 
that the patient's soul mind apply the message 
to the body for some specific purpose and, on 
the following morning the results of that 
message could be plainly seen. Messages of 
this nature do not require that the brain of the 
one receiving them be prepared because it is 
never delivered to the material mind of the 
person. 

In solving these things I have not worked 
for one year, nor five, but constantly for a 
period of thirty-five years. It has required an 
efifort on my part to solve these questions with- 
out assistance. 

No one ever learned to spell without spell- 
ing, to read without reading, or to speak with- 
out speaking, neither w r ill you learn to send a 
message by mental telepathy without a 



100 Psychology Simplified 

knowledge of the principals governing the 
sending of it. 

In sending messages by mental telapathy 
to correct the diseased condition of the body 
and brain you must be careful to place a limit 
upon every message, stating the length of time 
that you want the message applied and what 
you want done. Otherwise, you will fail to 
accomplish your purpose. 

We will suppose that you understand the 
anatomy of a human being and wish to send 
a message to increase the pulsations of the 
heart, you must know the number of heart 
beats that would be normal, stating, in your 
message, the number of pulsations you want it 
increased being careful never to reach the 
danger point and the length of time that you 
want the message applied. 

The soul mind will not receive and apply a 
message to the body and brain if that message, 
when applied, would prove fatal. 

Suppose that you should formulate a mes- 
sage and in that message instruct your soul 



Mental Telepathy 101 

mind to change the chemical compounds of 
some person's body and his soul mind should 
begin at once to make the change, you have 
no means of knowing the change it would pro- 
duce in that person. Your message was in- 
definite and might be the means of changing 
a normal compound to an abnormal one. 

When you send a message mentally always 
remember to limit that message because if you 
do not place some restrictions on it you can 
never tell what the results will be. 

In sending a message to change an ab- 
normal chemical compound to a normal one 
if you are careful to state in your message 
that you want each chemical in the body to 
be normal, you have benefited your patient. 
It is always best when sending messages 
of this nature to give instructions that 
would have a tendency to produce within that 
person a normal condition. Even though the 
person's condition should be normal you have 
nothing to lose by adding that to your message. 

A short time ago I had a case in which it 
was necessary for me to use mental telepathy. 



102 Psychology Simplified 

The nature of the case was such that I was not 
fully decided whether it was best for the 
patient, to remove the condition that existed 
or not. It is possible in removing one con- 
dition to cause another one more grave in 
nature than the one that first existed. I in- 
structed my soul mind to instruct the soul 
mind of my patient to remove that condition 
entirely by dissolving each particle, provided 
that in the elimination of it, it would not cause 
a condition more fatal than the one existing. 

The system of mental telepathy, within a 
few years, will be used extensively in cases of 
this nature when all other efforts fail. The 
time will come when people will depend upon 
the person who has intelligently prepared him- 
self to transmit messages mentally. There is 
not an intelligent person in the world who can 
not be reached in this way although there are 
many who can not be reached by oral sugges- 
tion and apply that suggestion to themselves. 

If the person benefited physically were 
skeptical upon this question, and knew that 
you were going to make this effort, they would 



Mental Telepathy 103 

use all the power within them to defeat your 
purpose so it is better, when you perform a 
work of this nature, to do so without any 
knowledge upon the part of the one receiving 
the message. 

A person who lives wholly upon the material 
plane will not get the best results. In making 
an instrument for any purpose the finer the 
material used the better work that instrument 
will perform. If it is used to perform work of a 
very delicate nature it is made of the very best 
material. The same principle is' true in mental 
telepathy, the most elevating avenues are used 
in transmitting messages. 

The lower your plane of life, the coarser 
your nature becomes and the farther you get 
from the possibilities of operating telepathy. 
As you evolve to a higher plane of life, the more 
elevated you become in your thoughts and 
manner of living the more proficient you will 
be in sending messages. The man in whose 
life the gross, material things predominate can 
never operate mental telepathy. Those 
avenues in his brain, which are the most active, 



104 Psychology Simplified 

do not enter into the combination by which 
messages are transmitted. This is an infalli- 
able proof that the law by which man came into 
existence was governed by an intelligence great- 
er than that possessed by man. 

It is within the power of man to evolve 
each avenue of his brain by which this science 
is successfully operated. Each avenue that is 
developed is always at your command at any 
time you are in need of its service. It may 
become inactive but it never loses its power to 
act, unless the tissue of which it is composed 
should become impaired by disease which may 
render it wholly incapacitated to operate. In 
that case it can never be restored to a normal 
condition and your work in sending messages 
would be indefinite. So, after having prepared 
the avenues of your brain for service of this 
nature you must see to it that they are kept in 
first class condition. 

Every man and woman should have some 
well defined purpose in life. If you do not 
have some goal that you are striving to reach 
you will be discontented, unsettled and pur- 



Mental Telepathy 105 

poseless. For every work of life that you ex- 
pect to perform successfully you must have 
some definite purpose in view. Pursue that 
purpose with a full determination from the 
depths of your soul and place it upon an im- 
movable basis and in time you will win a trium- 
phant victory over all obstacles ; your name 
will be carried down the stream of time and 
mentioned as one who dared to do. 



106 Oral Suggestion 

Chapter V. 

ORAL SUGGESTION. 

Suggestion is the presentation of a thought 
clothed in words spoken to another person. 
The suggestion carries with it all of the power 
possessed by the one giving it and his knowl- 
edge of the laws governing the one that he 
desires to reach and control by the suggestion 
given. The soul mind being unlimited can se- 
cure any results or bring about any change in 
the one to whom the suggestion is given. That 
far all suggestions are unlimited but the soul 
mind must depend upon the instrument through 
which it operates to prepare the suggestion. 
The material mind must have an understanding 
of the laws governing suggestion in order to 
intelligently transmit the suggestion through 
properly developed channels to the soul mind 
of the one it is intended for. The suggestion 
so given will bring about changes in the one 
receiving it without a knowledge of the laws 
on his part. His soul mind, like the one giving 
the suggestion, is unlimited, yet his material 



Oral Suggestion* 107 

mind is undeveloped and cannot understand 
how or why the suggestion secures certain 
changes in his body. He does not stop to think 
that there are many changes taking place every 
minute of his life in his body that are unknown 
to him, which is under the direct control of his 
soul mind. 

The channels through which a suggestion 
reaches the soul mind are always open in every 
human being. It is the soul mind that accepts 
and acts upon the suggestion even though the 
material mind is not properly developed to 
fully understand the nature and purpose of the 
suggestion. 

If the one giving the suggestion has a proper 
understanding of the structures of the human 
body and brain and its functions, he can scien- 
tifically transmit a suggestion to the soul mind 
of another person for the purpose of securing 
certain changes in his body, such changes will 
be equal to the operator's understanding of the 
laws governing the application of suggestion. 

The primary source of suggestion is un- 
limited, and if scientifically applied through 



108 Psychology Simplified 

properly developed channels, it is unlimited in 
its results. A suggestion is always limited by 
the one giving it. If you fail to secure the 
desired results, the fault is in your ability to 
give the suggestion understandingly. 

The soul mind of a man can be reached by 
suggestion while he sleeps and the results are 
far better than during his waking hours, you do 
not have to get the consent of his material mind 
to reach his soul mind. Suggestion will secure 
certain changes in the body and brain with or 
without the consent of the material mind. The 
only thing that can limit suggestion, is the 
material mind of the one giving the suggestion. 
The nearer you get to a perfect understanding 
of the scientific laws governing the human 
being, the nearer you get to the unlimited. 
This is like every other problem in the material 
universe. A perfect knowledge will lead you 
to the unlimited. By a proper development of 
the avenues in the brain, which gives the 
material mind freedom of action, a suggestion 
can be transmitted to the soul mind of anyone, 
any distance and the soul mind receiving it can 



Oral Suggestion 109 

arouse the material mind to the extent that it 
will act on the suggestion, if the material mind 
is developed on that peculiar line of work suffi- 
ciently to act intelligently, otherwise, it will 
not act on the suggestion, unless the suggestion 
is given for the purpose of bringing about 
certain changes in the body or brain over which 
the material mind has no control. 

The material mind of everyone is educated 
to some extent at least upon religious, moral 
and financial questions. Any changes along 
these lines cannot be accomplished in anyone 
only by the consent of the material mind of the 
one operated on. It requires oral suggestion to 
bring about changes along these lines of living, 
or upon any other line that certain avenues of 
the brain are well developed. 

A person's manner of living is governed 
wholly by the avenues of his brain that are de- 
veloped. 

A suggestion that is given for a specific 
purpose, should not be burdened with any other 
kind or class of work. The material mind is 
indivisible and cannot direct a suggestion in 



110 Psychology Simplified 

two or more ways at the same time as the mind 
becomes confused in the application of the 
suggestion. If the material mind has a perfect 
understanding of the laws governing the appli- 
cation of suggestion, then he would be un- 
limited in securing results. 

Your success depends upon your efforts in 
preparing the channels through which the soul 
mind transmits suggestion. Your success in 
every profession of life is wholly dependent 
upon the development of the avenues of your 
brain through which the soul mind transmits 
the solution of every problem. 

You can develop the avenues of your brain 
and become successful in business just the same 
as in the application of suggestion. 

There are forty-two direct ways by which 
you can be put in touch with the unlimited. 
Every other way is reached by a combination 
of developments. 

Faith is absolutely indispensable on the 
part of the operator and the person operated on 
when oral suggestion is given. There is no 



Oral Suggestion * 111 

exception to this rule. The prevalent idea that 
there is an exception to all rules does not hold 
good. Law is a rule of action, law is unchange- 
able. If a scientific law never changes, the 
rule by which it is applied cannot change, so 
there can be no exceptions to any rule by which 
a scientific law is applied. The results are 
always the same. A doubt on the part of the 
operator robs a suggestion of its power to 
accomplish the purpose for which it is given. 

In all cases where we desire to reach a 
person through his material mind, we must first 
get his consent to do so. In giving his consent 
he expresses his faith in our ability to relieve 
him. 

If I have unlimited faith in my ability to 
reach and free a person of diseased conditions, 
I can do so without any knowledge or faith on 
the part of the person upon whom I am operat- 
ing. This has been demonstrated so often that 
no one will deny the truthfulness of it who 
hag made an effort to inform himself on the 
subject. To accomplish this requires no faith 
or knowledge on the part of the person being 



112 Psychology Simplified 

operated upon, when the operator uses mental 
telepathy. 

When the work is properly and scientifically 
done the result will be the same in each case. 
There is no exception to this rule. 

If the person upon whom I am operating 
is informed of my intentions or of what I am 
doing I will fail to remove his diseased con- 
dition as I intended to do. Truth cannot differ 
from truth and still be the truth. What is true 
now when a scientific law is properly applied 
has always been true and always will be true as 
to the results obtained. 

If I can, by the power within me, reach a 
person by suggestion and free him of physical 
disease, whether with or without faith on his 
part, then every other case of the same nature 
is amenable to the same law. 

. The scientific laws emanated from the un- 
limited and they are governed in performing 
their work by an unlimited intelligence. 

' A suggestion when properly and scientific- 
ally applied by the soul mind puts in operation 



Oral Suggestion 113 

this unlimited intelligence in harmony with the 
scientific law governing that part of the human 
being to which the suggestion is directed and 
the purpose for which it is given is accom- 
plished. 

If I give a suggestion and direct it in the 
proper channels, the results will be that for 
which it was given. The power and in- 
telligence which set in operation this scientific 
law is inherent in me. The All-Wise Creator 
does not intercede to apply these laws in order 
to get the desired results. Everything necessary 
to relieve suffering humanity is placed at our 
command if we will evolve to the proper plane 
where we can intelligently apply them. You 
can evolve to this plane and become a blessing 
to yourself and to all with whom you come in 
contact. If you desire to become useful in re- 
lieving human brings of their afflictions you 
should prepare the channels through which this 
intelligence is transmitted. This can be done 
by a proper evolution of your brain, which in- 
creases the power of the material mind and will 



114 Psychology Simplified 

greatly increase your usefulness in relieving 
your fellow-beings by suggestion. 

The soul mind is prepared to perform any 
act within its sphere of operation. It partakes 
of the nature of the All-Wise from whom it 
emanated but it is limited in the material mind 
by the brain of man. The power is within 
man to know and apply every scientific law 
governing our being, yet we do not understand 
them, not that we cannot understand them, but 
because we do not will to. 

The power is within man to send telepathic 
messages to anyone any distance, yet everyone 
cannot do so, not because he has not the power 
inherent in him, but because he does not will 
to. 

Every act that is performed by the human 
being matters not the nature of that act, it can 
be traced to an avenue of the human brain. 
When we reach the point in life that we under- 
stand the evolution of mind, we will be prepared 
to solve every mysterious psychological mani- 
festation that has existed or will ever exist 
while time lasts. There is no mystery in the 



Oral Suggestion 115 

entire universe, only that which dwells in and 
occupies a part of the human mind. 

If you will think for a few minutes, it will 
be clear to you that the reason why a thing 
seems mysterious is because you do not un- 
derstand the nature of that thing. 

Suggestion is the origin, development and 
final consummation of everything existing. 
Suggestion has made the human family what it 
is today. It has formed and is forming the des- 
tiny of men and nations. Everything that 
exists began by the simple process of sug- 
gestion. You may take two boys equally pre- 
pared to undertake the affairs of life equal 
mentally, equally capacitated to think and act. 
Take one of those boys and hold the thought 
continually over him that he is going to make 
a wonderful man, that he is going to make his 
mark in the world, that the world is going to 
be greatly benefited by him having lived in it. 
Every time that he succeeds encourage him, 
tell him there is nothing beyond his power to 
accomplish and he will be a success. The other 
boy, hold the thought over him that he is not 



116 Psychology Simplified 

worth anything, that he is not capacitated to 
accomplish anything and he will only be a 
burden upon the people during his life-time, 
he will be a failure. You will notice these two 
boys separate, one will immediately begin to 
strive for greater things and to attain things of 
a higher nature. His entire mind and energy 
is applied to develop his brain so he may be 
able to accomplish those things. You see the 
other boy going off to himself, he is studying 
why it is that he has been brought into this 
world. There is nothing in it for him and he 
is sure he is not going to be worth anything. 
Life immediately begins to be a burden to him 
and as he grows older, he seems to be a burden 
to everyone. While on the other hand, the 
other man is developed, because of the sug- 
gestion that has been given to him in his earlier 
life. 

These things have made the human family 
what they are, not only is that true but it is 
going to continue to form the destiny of the 
entire human race. The convolutions of the 
brain are developed by an effort upon the part 



Oral Suggestion 117 

of the one possessing the brain and in order to 
begin an evolution in that brain, there must 
be a suggestion preceding that effort, other- 
wise, there will never be an effort made. Then 
after the suggestion is given there is a continual 
evolution going on in the convolutions of that 
brain. That suggestion is influencing that evo- 
lution, he is nearing the unlimited, which is 
reached when a convolution or avenue of the 
brain is fully developed. 

A suggestion given for the purpose of chang- 
ing a man, should be given for a specific pur- 
pose. People will come to understand that 
these things are not done by accident, or that 
they happen to be so, but that a law is put in 
operation every time that a thing is accom- 
plished. There is nothing in this material uni- 
verse that has just happened to be so. Every- 
thing that is, is so by a scientific law that is 
unchangeable. There is no way by which it 
can be changed. Then that being true, in order 
to accomplish a thing by oral suggestion, you 
must have that avenue of your brain developed 



1 18 Psychology Simplified 

so that you understand how to put in operation 
the scientific law producing that result, then 
you do not do that by accident. 

The law governing suggestion is as definite 
as the law in nature that governs the rising and 
setting of the sun, when the time arrives in the 
revolution of the earth the sun will appear, 
just as sure as that is true, when a scientific 
law is put in operation governing a certain part 
of the human body, the result is inevitable. 

People should learn to w T ork along these 
lines intelligently. The only way by which 
people can operate intelligently is to gain a 
knowledge of these things and when you have 
gained a knowledge, you can act intelligently 
upon that question. A suggestion cannot be 
given by the material mind without the assist- 
ance of the soul mind. The entire power is 
applied by the soul mind of the person, this 
suggestion has the power to set in motion a 
scientific law, which is absolutely definite in the 
work it performs. The material mind only 
has the power to formulate a suggestion, it has 
not the power to set in motion a scientific law. 



Oral Suggestion 119 

You have learned to formulate a suggestion 
that can be applied by the soul mind of a person 
and set in motion that law. As far as the 
material mind of man is concerned, it can only 
operate in the material part of the work per- 
formed by oral suggestion, or for that matter, 
any other work you undertake to perform. 
The material mind can only formulate the plans 
by which a thing is to be done, it has not the 
power to execute these plans. 

The body and brain of man compose the 
instruments through which the soul mind 
operates. Just as the material that goes into 
and forms a wireless machine to send wireless 
messages, has not the power to operate itself, 
so it is with the brain and body of a man. It 
has not the power within itself to operate 
itself, so the brain of man, while it is the 
basis of operation of every instrument in the 
material universe and is responsible for the 
existance of every instrument, yet it has not 
the power within itself to operate itself and 
accomplish these things. It forms the material 
part of the instrument through which these 



120 Psychology Simplified 

things are accomplished. It is the instrument 
and the brain of man being developed gives to 
the material mind a field in which to operate. 
The material mind cannot operate in the ab- 
sence of the development of the avenues of 
the brain. Just as soon as you develop an 
avenue of the brain, you have increased the 
field upon which the material mind operates. 
Each avenue of the brain represents a certain 
line of thought or work and, until you have 
developed that avenue in your brain, the ma- 
terial mind is powerless in performing a work 
of that nature. Not only is that true, but it is 
impossible for the soul mind to penetrate that 
avenue of your brain and give to the material 
mind any intelligence whatever upon that line 
of thought. The soul mind never developed an 
avenue of the brain, has no choice as to the 
avenues it uses, is wholly dependent upon the 
material mind to develop the avenues of the 
brain. The brain has no power inherent in 
it. It is dependent upon another source for 
the power it possesses in order to accomplish 
things. It has no power to apply itself to 



Oral Suggestion 121 

any problem, or to apply any suggestion that 
it may be able to formulate to any object to 
accomplish the purpose of that suggestion. 

The soul mind of a person has the power 
within itself to apply the power to the brain 
of man and cause the material mind to operate. 
The body and brain of man has neither life, 
energy, power or intelligence within itself. It 
is just an instrument through which every- 
thing that we do is accomplished. 

The spirit of man has power and energy 
but no intelligence. The soul of man has the 
intelligence to apply the power, which is the 
spirit to the brain and body to operate them. 
All of the intelligence manifested by the 
human being emanates from the soul. It is 
transmitted through the avenues of the brain 
to the material mind. In a way the material 
mind understands how to apply that intelli- 
gence to itself, while it can formulate any kind 
of a message that the development of the brain 
will permit and tell that suggestion to the 
soul mind and the soul mind has the intelli- 
gence to apply that suggestion to the one you 



122 Psychology Simplified 

desire to receive it. To the extent of the de- 
velopment of your brain you are capacitated 
to suggest and the suggestion will produce the 
desired results. For instance, every suggestion 
given by a person carries with it the amount 
of power that there is in the brain of that 
being to formulate and give that suggestion 
power to produce the thing you desire. 

If a person does not understand the nature 
of a human being, it is a waste of time to under- 
take to accomplish anything within that being 
by suggestion, because he cannot give to that 
suggestion the intelligence and force necessary 
to accomplish the thing he desires. 

No suggestion will operate upon the human 
being for the purpose of securing normal re- 
sults, only that which is applied intelligently. 
There are various ways by which suggestion 
can be applied to the body. One very impres- 
sive way by which suggestion is carried, is to 
sit down to a nice meal and think how you will 
enjoy that meal. With this thought in your 
mind and all the pleasure possible for you to 
possess at that moment, let someone step to the 



Oral Suggestion 123 

door and tell you that some loved one of your's 
has passed away, your entire appetite is gone, 
you have no desire to eat. The chemical com- 
pound of your stomach is changed in a very 
short time. Then there is another way by 
which these things can be accomplished, you 
sit down with all these good things in your 
mind and if someone should come up and insult 
you, your appetite is gone and the chemicals in 
your stomach are turned to poison. If you ate 
anything it would be impossible to digest it. 
It is only a suggestion, but it is given under 
peculiar circumstances. I talked with a lady 
a short time ago, on the subject of suggestion, 
she told me of a circumstance that she knew 
of personally. There was an elderly lady who 
was very wealthy who became very much at- 
tached to a young lady, who afterward married 
her son. In after years this lady became very 
offensive to the elderly lady, one day she spoke 
very unbecomingly to her mother-in-law, call- 
ing her, a gray-headed fool. The elderly lady 
very kindly said to her, "May you know what 
it is to be gray", within three months the young 
lady's hair was perfectly white. If these 



124 Psychology Simplified 

things can be done, which are being done, is it 
not possible in a quiet way, without any un- 
pleasantness, without any anger to formulate 
a suggestion and apply it to the human being 
and produce within that human being, a con- 
dition that you desire by that suggestion? 

Mental, telepathy is performed silently and 
in the absence of the knowledge of anyone else, 
if you care to. These suggestions are applied 
by the soul mind in the same way. The soul 
mind applies oral suggestions, but in oral sug- 
gestions you cannot give a suggestion without 
the person to whom you are giving it knowing 
what you are doing. If they do not desire you 
to give the suggestion it is useless to do so. If 
he knows and refuses to allow you to give 
this suggestion, quietly get off and formulate 
one and send it by mental telepathy, and it will 
act. 

In oral suggestion, the message is prepared 
by the material mind and with his permission 
you can speak that to him. He receives it and 
his soul mind applies the suggestion to him. 
In the other way you formulate your sugges- 






Oral Suggestion 125 

tion, tell it to your soul mind and your soul 
mind tells the message to the soul mind of the 
one receiving it. The application of both are 
made in the same way, by the same power and 
intelligence. The conditions under which they 
are given are entirely different. A man can 
prepare a message and transmit that message 
by mental telepathy one thousand miles and 
relieve pain almost instantly. 

After you deliver a message to your soul 
mind, your material mind has nothing mare to 
do with it. The soul mind can deliver the 
message ten thousand miles as easily as ten 
feet. A suggestion, in order to secure the de- 
sired results, must be prepared by the material 
mind with a definite intention, free from doubt. 
If you doubt you had just as well never have 
given it. There is nothing in the material 
universe that can be accomplished in the ab- 
sence of faith. If you have no faith in your 
ability to do, you are a failure in any propo- 
sition. 



126 Know Thyself 

Chapter VI. 

KNOW THYSELF. 

The primary source of knowledge is the 
thing of which we desire to gain a knowledge. 
If all the phases of psychology of which we de- 
sire a knowledge are susceptible to demon- 
stration in the human being, then one must 
have an intelligent knowledge of the human 
being and the relationship of each part entering 
collectively into the composition of the entire 
human being, soul, body and spirit before he 
is prepared to enter the field as a psychologist. 

The primary source of all things is life, 
power, energy and intelligence. When you 
have gained a knowledge of the soul, body and 
spirit you have prepared yourself to enter the 
field of psychic research intelligently. It will 
enable you to see the beauty and harmony in 
the entire make up of man. It will also unfold 
to you an unlimited field of thought in which 
the many mysterious things that have baffled 
your brain in the past will be the simplest 



Know Thyself 127 

things in your life. You have only to raise the 
veil intervening between you and the com- 
position of man and the light of knowledge 
will drive away the dark clouds of superstition 
and mystery that have been hovering around 
you all along your journey through life. 
Psychology will have a new meaning to you. 
You will have evolved to a plane of life where 
you can see as you never saw before; where 
you can live as you never lived before ; where 
you can appreciate and enjoy the things which 
at one time seemed beyond your power to 
grasp and comprehend. 

The road leading to psychology is indeed a 
rugged one and few they are who have traveled 
it, giving to the world a waybill to guide the 
tired, weary traveler along the dark and rugged 
pathway to the plane where light has driven 
the darkness away and knowledge reigns 
supreme. 

The soul, body and spirit supplies us with 
the only source from which this knowledge 
can be gained. This can be accomplished by 
the material mind which increases its ability to 



128 Psychology Simplified 

know, through the evolution of thought. We 
must live and move in order to maintain our 
being. We must be possessed of a soul and 
spirit in order to do this. In the absence of the 
soul and spirit we would have no being. All 
we would have is a corpse. If we have the 
soul and spirit only and no body for them to 
dw T ell in, then there would be no channel 
through which they could make their existence 
known, in the absence of either of the three 
we could not have a living human being. In 
order to have this we must have intelligence, 
power and instrument. In the soul we have the 
intelligence, in the spirit we have the power, 
in the body we have the instrument. Then 
we have entering into the composition of the 
human being, a soul, body and spirit together 
with their functions, all being absolutely in- 
dispensable in a normal man. 

Suppose you should gain a perfect knowl- 
edge of the human body together with all of its 
systems and organs and their functions, if you 
were not able to evolve beyond this you would 



Know Thyself 129 

be doomed to be a materialist all the days of 
your life. If you could evolve one step higher 
and solve the purpose and function of the spirit, 
and you were not able to continue your evolu- 
tion, you would be a materialist still, without 
one ray of hope of a future life, because there 
would be nothing in which to preserve your 
identity. In reality you would have no identity 
to preserve, as intelligence does not emanate 
from the body or spirit. You would be like the 
engine with a full head of steam with no in- 
telligence to apply the steam to the engine to 
operate it. 

This intelligence in man we call the soul of 
man. In the absence of this intelligence the 
spirit could not apply itself to the body to move 
it and the inevitable result would be suspended 
animation. When we learn the composition of 
the body, the place it fills in its relation to the 
human being; when we learn what the spirit 
is, of what it is composed and its relationship 
to man in its work ; what the soul is, of what it 
is composed and the relationship it sustains in 



130 Psychology Simplified 

the evolution of man, we will have learned the 
basic principles of psychology. 

Psychology is the science of the soul, but 
when you remove the body and spirit you re- 
move the instrument and power by and through 
which it transmits this science to the world. 
The soul does not possess, within itself, the 
power and medium through which it can trans- 
mit its science to mankind. If it did it would 
be foolish to burden it with a body and spirit 
and limit the transmission of this science by 
and through them. 

The All-Wise Creator in His wisdom, good- 
ness and mercy has decided that it shall be so. 
We meekly submit to his wisdom in the ar- 
rangement of man. 

The material, power and intelligence should 
form a union in which there is perfect harmony 
in purpose, action and final consummation of 
its entire being. The soul is this intelligence, 
which emanated from the Great Soul or All- 
Wise Creator, it is unlimited within itself. It 
is composed of life, power, energy and intelli- 
gence, a real being within itself. Its being is 



Know Thyself 131 

the exact form of a human being. Its power 
to operate emanated from the unlimited power 
which gives it unending life. Its intelligence 
emanated from the unlimited, the source of all 
wisdom and knowledge. It is "the inner man" 
the one created by the All-Wise Creator to 
dwell in the material man which he formed of 
the dust of the earth afterwards, the body in 
which the created being lives. He united them 
by inspiring into the material man the power 
of life (spirit) and he became a living soul. 

The spirit is that which unites the soul and 
body, animates and gives life to the body. The 
soul is the source of all intelligence. The 
spirit gives the power to the body to receive 
this intelligence from the soul. 

The spirit is composed of life, power and 
energy. It is the power that operates the body 
and brain of man. It is supported by the life 
force in the atmosphere. It possesses a peculiar 
attraction for this life force and it is the power 
that applies them to the entire body and brain, 
which secures a normal function of the entire 
human being if allowed to do so. It is to man 



132 Psychology Simplified 

what a motor is to an engine. It does not have 
the intelligence to apply and operate itself. 

The spirit is man's motor, the soul is the 
intelligence that applies the power (motor) to 
the dynamo which extracts the life force from 
the atmosphere and conducts them to every 
tissue of the body and brain which places the 
human being upon a plane of continual evolu- 
tion physically. This evolution continues until 
the material mind of man has determined 
definitely that the body and brain have reached 
the age in which they can no longer maintain 
their evolution, at this period of life the mate- 
rial mind begins to build weaker tissues and he 
begins to deteriorate physically, the final con- 
summation of which is the dissolution of the 
entire body and brain. The power by which 
this entire process is accomplished in evolving 
and deteriorating is the spirit of man. Without 
it we could not maintain an existence as a hu- 
man being. It manifests itself distinctly in 
three ways in man, by energy in active life, 
power in normal sleep, life in suspended ani- 



Know Thyself 133 

mation. The body does not possess either of 
these in the absence of the spirit. 

The power to know man is within man. 
When this power is applied to the brain it ex- 
tends the limits of the material mind and 
enables it to become more useful by helping 
others to free themselves of the unpleasant 
things in their lives, which can be laid aside 
by them at their will. 

This power in man is the spirit of man. It 
is one of the primary causes of his existence. 
It gives to him the power to live, move and have 
his being as a man. It is that which gives 
the material mind the power to prepare a mess- 
age intelligently. Without it you would be 
powerless to express yourself in any way. You 
would be like a motor with no electric current. 
It is the main spring of thought, action and 
life. It prepares and places our messages upon 
the wings of the soul mind which delivers them 
safely to their destination. It dwells in the 
body and brain of man. It is always at home 
during the entire sojourn of man. It has no 
material or intelligence of its own, it does not 



134 Psychology Simplified 

receive or transmit suggestions but it gives to 
the material mind the power to receive it and 
to the soul mind the power to transmit it. By 
the aid of the spirit all thoughts are evolved 
in the material mind. These thoughts compose 
the store house out of which suggestions are 
formed. 

The body is the house in which the spirit 
dwells. It is composed entirely of material 
substances which are susceptible to analysis. 

The body itself does not contain life, power, 
energy or intelligence. When these are added 
to the body it becomes a living intelligent hu- 
man being. While the body maintains its exis- 
tance, the life, energy and intelligence can be 
increased in it. When we reach the time along 
lifes journey that our bodies become so im- 
paired that these cannot be applied to it, the 
spirit will return to the unlimited from whence 
it came, and the soul to the plane where the 
afflictions which attack our bodies /are not 
known, in which our entire identity is pre- 
served perfectly, where we know no sorrow, 
pain or separation, where love reigns supreme, 



Know Thyself 135 

where there are no storm clouds of grief, lust 
or passion to trouble our souls, where we have 
exchanged troubles and persecutions for inex- 
pressible peace and contentment, where we 
exchange mortality for immortality together 
with all that immortality means. It is the 
celestial home that seems so far, yet is so near. 
It is just beyond the great wall of thought 
which seems so impossible for us to penetrate. 

This plane of life and thought can only be 
reached by those who apply themselves to the 
scientific side of life both in thought and 
manner of living. It requires an effort on 
your part, lest you be led away by the mater- 
ial things of life, with which you are con- 
tinually coming in contact, that today pre- 
dominates the lives of the human race. It is 
easy to follow the trend of thought of those 
around you, but you have the power inherent 
within you to rise above the low material 
things in this life and evolve to a higher and 
purer plane where others will be influenced by 
you and follow in your foot steps. Then you 
will not only become better and happier your- 



136 Psychology Simplified 

self, but you will have become a blessing to 
others all along your way. 

Your life is a suggegstion which you are 
giving continually each day. You are helping 
to create the environment for others to live in. 
Then you should pave the way to higher things 
by living so that you will scatter light and sun- 
shine for those who are striving to reach a 
higher plane of thought and a more perfect 
life in which love, mercy and goodness are the 
primary elements entering. Where sweet com- 
munion vibrates from soul to soul and each 
one feels that it is good to be there. Then let 
each effort of your life be for the purpose of 
evolving every one with whom you come in 
contact to a higher plane. On this plan.e your 
worth to the human race cannot be estimated, 
while you have the power and intelligence to 
mould the life and destiny of those around you 
for good, which within itself is a grand and 
noble work that cannot be expressed in words. 

People in the last few years have begun to 
awaken to the fact that thought force is a power 
when properly and scientifically applied in the 



Know Thyself 137 

evolution of man. One desire of my life is to 
live to see the time when the human race 
will be fully awakened to a realization of these 
things and the greatness of their influencee in 
forming the destiny of the entire human family. 



138 Suspended Animation 

Chapter VII. 

SUSPENDED ANIMATION 

The peculiarities of a thing can usually be 
known and expressed by a person who has ex- 
perienced them, but this peculiar condition, still 
remains unsolved to some extent. Just what 
takes place during suspended animation may 
never be fully known. 

The body loses its power of motion and its 
functions are suspended for the time being. 
The brain does not cease to function entirely 
and there is no deterioration of the tissues in 
either body or brain. The material mind re- 
tains full consciousness during the entire 
period, which indicates that the brain, its home, 
retains its activity to some extent at least. The 
body, to which the soul mind applies the spirit 
to animate and give it life, suspends operation 
for the time being and it must await the pleas- 
ure of the soul mind to restore the power of 
motion to it. This process has been going on 
in the body for a period of time in which there 



Suspended Animation 139 

has been a continual war-fare between the 
material and soul mind as to which had the in- 
herent right to govern and control the func- 
tion and processes of the body and brain. 

People have been educated from infancy to 
give to fruits, vegetables and medicine more 
intelligence than they give the soul mind credit 
with having, thereby evolving within the ma- 
terial mind the right and supremacy to control 
the functions of the body which is inherent in 
the soul mind, by so doing they are setting in 
motion a war-fare between the two minds. 
When a process, known as disease, begins to 
make its presence known in the body, the 
material mind begins to apply material reme- 
dies, attributing to these remedies the intelli- 
gence to abate the process that is active in the 
body. It does not consider for an instant that 
there is a superior intelligence, (soul mind) 
that is continually watching over the entire 
body and brain securing the proper and normal 
functions of every organ in the body and brain, 
while the material mind is wrapt in deep slum- 
ber, taking its rest which is normal for it to do. 



140 Psychology Simplified 

The material mind of ninety per cent of the 
human race has no knowledge of what is taking 
place in their bodies and brains, and the other 
ten per cent are not conscious of it while 
sleeping. 

If the soul has the intelligence to see after 
the entire functioning of the body and brain 
while you sleep, by what law or reason does it 
lose its power to do so while you are awake? 
Your thinking that it does, does not take away 
its right to do so by any means. 

When the human race has the proper 
knowledge and understanding of the intelli- 
gence which has the inherent right to govern 
their bodies, the abnormal processes will find 
no field in which to operate, for in gaining this 
knowledge you will evolve to a different plane 
of living. 

This continual warfare between the soul 
and material mind has caused the human 
family untold suffering, both in body and mind, 
and it will continue to do so until they evolve 
out of the low plane of life and thought in 
which they are living to the plane where 



Suspended Animation 141 

fruits and vegetables are food to the body and 
brain, to be taken into the body to build tissues. 

Food is food and intelligence is intelligence ; 
food is not intelligence, neither is intelligence 
food. Food has no intelligence to do good 
or evil within itself, neither does it receive 
this intelligence from the soul mind, which has 
the inherent right to govern the entire process 
of digestion and assimilation. The food we 
eat receives all of this intelligence from the 
material mind, which has no right of its own 
to give such intelligence. 

Everything containing chemicals that are 
normal to our bodies, is food to our bodies, but, 
"To him that thinketh a thing is unclean to 
him it is unclean". 

The warfare between the two minds, is 
the primary cause of what is called, suspended 
animation. The material mind assumes the 
right to govern the entire process of the body, 
which is wholly out of its sphere of operation, 
by doing so it interferes with the inalienable 
rights of the soul mind. If the material mind 
wins in this conflict and holds the right of way 



142 Psychology Simplified 

in applying material remedies to the body, dis- 
solution of the body will be inevitable. 

The intention of the material mind was 
good, in that it wanted to assist the body in 
eliminating the disturbing elements in the 
body, it having been taught that it could do 
so. With this thought fully developed in the 
material mind, it uses every effort within its 
power to unbuild its home, the only dwelling 
place it has in which to develop and operate. 
In doing this, it is interfering with the soul 
mind in its efforts to carry on its work nor- 
mally in securing harmony in the body. 

The soul mind is superior to the material 
mind in power and intelligence to control all 
of the processes in the body, and it would do 
so if the material mind would not interfere 
and assume the right to do that which belongs 
to the soul mind, but it will continue to do so 
as long as it is educated from infancy that it 
has that right. When the disease which has 
attacked the body is not of a fatal nature with- 
in itself, the process being a normal effort to 
free the body of the disturbing elements, the 



Suspended Animation 143 

conflict between the soul and material minds 
for supremacy has reached the limit and the 
soul mind withdraws all effort for the time 
being, the spirit remains in the body with no 
power within itself to apply its power of mo- 
tion to the body, the result is, suspended ani- 
mation, the entire functioning of the body and 
all processes normal and abnormal are sus- 
pended for the time being, yet life is not extinct. 

When we think of the millions of objects 
that live and move that cannot be seen with 
the human eye, it proves to us that life may 
exist in every tissue of the body and brain, 
while we may not be able to detect it, yet it is 
gently performing its work. In this condition 
the material mind is forced to surrender all 
control over the body. It being powerless 
within itself to control the functions of the 
body, the soul mind has put the material mind 
within the limit of its sphere of operation, 
where it remains during this period of time 
wholly conscious of everything that is trans- 
piring around it. The soul mind begins to 
make the necessary repairs in the body and 



144 Psychology Simplified 

brain, removing all of the abnormal processes 
to enable it to assume again its journey along 
life's pathway. 

All cases of suspended animation will re- 
cover if given a chance to do so. This con- 
dition may exist from a few minutes to weeks. 
The longest case personally known to me, was 
fourteen days. It is owing to the nature and 
magnitude of the intervening process produc- 
ing this suspension, as to the length of time it 
will exist. 

The soul mind takes complete control of 
the body and brain during this period and 
frees it of all diseased conditions. A person 
in this condition should be given plenty of time 
and encouragement. They know what you are 
doing and saying. In some cases every test 
known can be applied without securing any 
evidence of life. To prick the eyelids with a 
pin or a mirror laid on the face is the surest 
test for life, if there is life in the body a slight 
moisture can be seen on the mirror. A twitch 
of the eyelid can usually be observed when 
pricked with a pin if there is life in the body. 



Suspended Animation 145 

Do not give up hope until every trace of life 
has disappeared an infallible proof of dissolu- 
tion is observed in the body. The number of 
bodies that have been laid away in this con- 
dition to awaken when it is too late, is sur- 
prisingly great. When life and all hope of their 
recovery are gone it is time enough then to 
lay their bodies away to rest, when we are 
sure their spirit has returned to the source 
from whence it came, and the soul has crossed 
over the Great Divide from which there is no 
return and no desire to do so as far as we know. 
They could not if they would, neither would 
they if they could. 

Life does not leave the body in suspended 
animation. The spirit is the power that ani- 
mates the body. When the spirit leaves the 
body dissolution begins. 

In suspended animation the spirit remains 
in the body, then the inevitable conclusion is, 
that there is life in the body, not withstanding 
our inability to detect it. The active condition 
of the material mind during this period is also 
conclusive evidence that there is life in the 



146 Psychology Simplified 

body. To lay a person away in this condition 
to awaken later, should not be permitted by 
an intelligent race of people, such as we claim 
to be. The inevitable hand that we can not 
stay, will touch us soon enough without hasten- 
ing our time in this world. 

Remember dear reader, the laws of the 
material universe give us absolutely no pro- 
tection in cases of this kind, your loved ones 
can lay you away if they choose to do so, and 
you are helpless to protest, you being perfect- 
ly conscious of what they are doing, and of 
what is going to happen to you later when your 
power of motion returns to your body, yet you 
are powerless to plead with them for mercy. 

In suspended animation they lose the power 
to move, there is no way by which they can 
express themselves. There is life in the entire 
body and brain, but in a very limited amount. 

It is nature's last resort or effort to free the 
body of disease. The work will be done com- 
pletely if it is allowed to complete its work. 
In cases where this condition exists, sugges- 
tions of an encouraging nature should be given 



Suspended Animation 147 

the person, giving them the assurance that you 
will give them plenty of time and that you are 
sure they will recover and be alright. If sug- 
gestions of this nature are given they will 
revive much quicker and it will be more pleas- 
ant for them. 



148 The Soul of Man 

Chapter VIII. • 

THE SOUL OF MAN, 

In the discussion of this question it is 
necessary for us to mention the various parts 
entering into the composition of man in order 
to demonstrate the possibilities of the soul in 
performing the various things which could not 
be performed in its absence. 

The body and brain of man are subject to a 
chemical analysis, making it possible to deter- 
mine each chemical entering into their com- 
position. The soul of man can be defined by 
the work it performs in assisting him to main- 
tain his existence as a living human being. 

Every living animal in the material universe 
possesses something that occupies the same 
relationship to that animal as the soul does to 
a human being, but man alone has the power to 
evolve a material mind to which the soul mind 
can impart intelligence and by which he can 
successfully demonstrate his right to exist on a 
plane of life where no other creature in the 



The Soul of Man 149 

material universe has the intelligence to ques- 
tion his inalienable right to occupy. This in- 
telligence in man emanates from the soul. 

The soul is composed of life, power, energy 
and intelligence. The life entering into its 
composition emanated from the unlimited and 
is unlimited. The power emanated from the 
Great Spirit, which was the power used in 
creating all things. The energy in the soul of 
man is of the peculiar kind which can main- 
tain a perpetual motion and in its nature is, 
like the soul, unending. This intelligence 
emanated from the Great Soul from which the 
soul of man came. 

The soul is the source of all intelligence 
manifested in the entire life. There is no period 
of time that is not wholly directed by the soul. 
It gives each thought its existence, gives ex- 
pression and directs them on their mission for 
good or evil. 

The body and brain of man does not possess, 
within themselves, life, power, energy or in- 
telligence. The soul has the intelligence to 
apply the spirit to the body and brain. 



150 Psychology Simplified 

The spirit is composed of life, energy and 
power. When the soul applies the spirit to 
the body and brain of man it forms a union of 
the three. This union, if allowed to operate 
normally, forms a basis for perpetual harmony. 
The body and brain is the instrument through 
which this universal harmony is manifested. 

The body is the instrument, the spirit is the 
power and the soul is the intelligence entering 
into the composition of man and makes him 
a living, intelligent human being. 

The spirit does not possess the intelligence 
to apply itself to the body and brain of man to 
give them the power to operate. The spirit 
is the power by which the body performs each 
act during life. Without it the body would be 
powerless. 

Man cannot evolve without the soul to 
apply the power to him. Everything that 
exists is dependent upon a higher intelligence 
than that possessed by it for its existence, pur- 
pose of life and its destination. 

The soul of man emanated from the Great 



The Soul of Man 151 

Soul, and as like will produce like the soul of 
man possesses life, power and intelligence of 
the same kind and nature of the Great Soul 
from which it came. It is the offspring of the 
Great Soul and possesses, inherently, wisdom, 
knowledge and understanding. It is unlimited 
within itself but in imparting its knowledge 
to the human family it is limited to the brain of 
man. 

As the Great Spirit, the power by which 
all things have been accomplished, is subject 
to and under the direction of the Great Soul 
and is wholly dependent upon His command 
to act in maintaining harmony in the entire 
universe, so the spirit in man is wholly de- 
pendent upon the soul for its permission to 
operate the body and brain of man. 

When the body and brain becomes so im- 
paired that the soul can no longer apply the 
spirit to them, dissolution of the body and 
brain will be the inevitable result. 

The body and brain of man are dependent 
upon the spirit to maintain their existence. 
The spirit is dependent upon the soul to dwell 



152 Psychology Simplified 

in the body and brain to animate and per- 
petuate their existence. The soul of man is 
dependent upon the Great Soul for its knowl- 
edge, power and intelligence to apply the spirit 
to the body and brain of man making it pos- 
sible for him to evolve with his brain a material 
mind which gives him the ability to solve the 
various problems of life. 

The material mind is wholly dependent 
upon the brain for its field of operation. It 
performes its work by the assistance of the 
avenues of the brain. When the avenues be- 
come impaired from any cause the material 
mind becomes indefinite in its work. 

Transmutation is only permissible between 
two objects of the same nature and kind. Two 
objects differing in their nature yet perform- 
ing the same act ; the final consummation of 
that act resulting in one object, must neces- 
sarily have a medium interceding between 
them to form a complete blend between the 
two. In order that harmony prevail in the ob- 
ject produced, harmony must exist between the 
objects producing it. 



The Soul op Man 153 

The inter-cellular substance is the basis 
of all tissue in man. There is no scientific law 
by which it can produce tissue varying from 
human tissue. This being true, man could not 
have evolved from a being composed of tissue 
differing in nature from human tissue. Man 
can and does evolve and deteriorate and his 
tissue can change from a normal to an abnormal 
condition, but in all his changes his tissue at 
all times and under all conditions will be 
strictly human tissue. 

The body and soul of man differ in their 
nature and composition but the purpose of 
both is the evolution of man, his advent into 
the material universe, his development and his 
final destination. The body and soul differ 
in their nature so they must have a medium to 
intercede between them and blend them to- 
gether in order that they accomplish their 
purpose. 

The spirit is not composed of material or 
intelligence with in itself. The body is com- 
posed of material and the soul of intelligence. 
The spirit draws on the body for its material 



154 Psychology Simplified 

and on the soul for its intelligence. It par- 
takes of the nature of both, forming a union be- 
tween the body and soul and making a per- 
fect blend between the two. This puts the 
evolution of man under the direction of the 
intelligence which emanates from the Greau 
Soul. He created and placed the intercelular 
substance in man out of which he evolves 
human tissue. 

Nature's laws are scientific and they will 
never vary. So, dear reader, do not become 
alarmed, every heir born to you will be, un- 
mistakably a human being. This is, as exact as 
all laws of nature, which makes it impossible 
for any plant or tree to bear other than its own 
kind of fruit or flowers. So long as there is a 
spirit in man to form a perfect union between 
the body and soul your off-spring will always 
be a human being with a body soul and spirit 
if allowed to enter the world a normal being.

Chapter IX. 

THE EVOLUTION OF MAN 

Truth is scientific in all of its applications, 
to determine the truth underlying every propo- 
sition necessitates that we have an under- 
standing of the primary principles entering into 
it in order to appreciate it as such. If a propo- 
sition cannot be aualyzed and its basic prin- 
ciples fully understood it can never be estab- 
lished as a scientific fact founded upon truth. 

If the proposition that man is a product of 
evolution is scientific then the basic principles 
underlying it can be fully understood by man. 
It can be analyzed and every principle entering 
into and forming a part of the system can be 
demonstrated proving that the entire process 
is based upon truth. Upon these facts it must 
stand or fall. 

It is not my purpose to infringe upon the 
unknown things of the past, present or future 



156 Psychology Simplified 

or to be swayed either way in solving this ques- 
tion by what others have said on the subject. 
I have a more sure way of obtaining the scien- 
tific facts relative to the evolution of man. 

The thing of which we desire a knowledge 
contains within itself the information of which 
we are in search. This being scientifically true, 
we can get all of the facts as to the evolution 
of man, from man. It would be a waste of time 
and energy to try to settle the origin and nature 
of man by any other object or being. 

Everything in nature has its purpose and 
evolves upon its plane, serves its purpose and 
fills its mission. There is not one of them 
from the least to the greatest, from the simplest 
to the most profound, that proves or disproves 
the origin of man. 

The only way this question can be settled 
scientifically is to analyze the entire compo- 
sition of man and from this analysis determine 
the relationship each part sustains to man as a 
whole. This can only be done by making a 
proper division of man and keep each part en- 
tirely separate until we can determine accurate- 



The Evolution of Man 157 

ly the scientific purpose of each part. With an 
unbiased mind this can be unfolded by the same 
rule other questions of importance are solved. 

The first important question to be settled is 
law. That the laws of nature are fixed and un- 
changeable is not questioned. It is being demon- 
strated to us every day. This being true, they 
are scientifically performing their work with 
profound accuracy. 

A peach tree cannot bear peaches one sea- 
son and apples the next, as the seasons come 
and go each succeeding season, true to its kind 
it will bear peaches. With this question fully 
settled in our minds I am ready to unfold man 
with the same accuracy and simplicity as I 
did the peach tree. The scientific law that 
governs man is as true to man as the law 
governing the peach tree is to the tree. 

That man, as a whole, is an instrument 
possessed of power and intelligence is a fact 
that can be scientifically demonstrated. From 
man, as such, we can and will extract the truths 
which are the basic principles upon which rests 
the origin and destiny of man. 



158 Psychology Simplified 

The work performed by the body and brain 
of man, as an instrument, is of grave im- 
portance, the nature of it being such, that the 
entire animal kingdom is subdued by it and 
nations, dominions and dynasties are subject 
to and governed by it and out of it emanates 
wisdom and knowledge of the same nature and 
kind manifested by the Great Intelligence, from 
which alone it receives its power and intelli- 
gence to operate as an instrument. There is 
no other instrument in the entire material uni- 
verse that can perform a work of this nature. 
There is no other fountain capable of endowing 
man with his superior intelligence except the 
Great Intelligence, which is the primary source 
of his existence. 

There is no instrument existing that pos- 
sesses the intelligence within itself to operate 
itself. The power operating it must be applied 
to it. This power like the instrument, does 
not possess the intelligence within itself to 
apply itself to the instrument to operate it. 
So there must be an intelligence separate and 
apart from the instrument and the power oper- 
ating it. Neither of them possessing in- 



The Evolution of Man 159 

herently, intelligence must depend upon an 
instrument far superior to it in nature and 
composition which is capable of manifesting 
this intelligence to the extent that it can apply 
the power to the instrument so the instrument 
can perform the work for which it was con- 
structed. 

The body and brain of man is an instrument 
composed of various tissues which we call 
bone, ligament, muscle and brain tissues, all of 
which are scientifically arranged. Each tissue 
in man is peculiarly fitted for the nature of 
work it is intended to perform. The work to 
be performed by the instrument, as a whole, 
is superior to that performed by any other 
instrument. It is operated upon a higher plane 
than that occupied by any other instrument. 

Human tissue, as it is, could not have 
evolved out of intercellular substance varying 
from the nature and kind existing in man. 
The intercellular substance out of which human 
tissue evolves could not exist in the absence of 
a soul and body blended together by the spirit 
to produce it, neither could it perpetuate its 



160 Psychology Simplified 

existence as such in the absence of a soul and 
soul mind possessed of an intelligence capable 
of reasoning upon a plane of life far superior to 
any other creature in the entire material uni- 
verse. It places him above and beyond the 
common level in the animal kingdom and gives 
him dominion over all the earth. 

A tissue superior to human tissues cannot 
be produced by a chemical compound and 
maintain an existence on a material plane of 
life. 

The body and brain of man are composed- 
of chemicals scientifically compounded. The 
arrangement of this chemical compound into 
a body and brain was directed by Infinite wis- 
dom. 

If it were possible for the offspring of man 
to differ from man in nature and kind (which 
we maintain could not occur) he would loose 
his relationship to the scientific law governing 
man and would cease to exist as a man. 

Man with his intelligence could have evolved 
from an intelligence superior to that possessed 
by man, which is scientifically true so far as 



The Evolution of Man 161 

the real being (soul) is concerned. It is the 
offspring of the Great Soul which is the pri- 
mary source of all intelligence manifested in 
the entire Universe. 

The body and brain of man being so con- 
structed that it can manifest this All-Wise and 
limitless intelligence to the entire approval 
of the All-Wise Creator. The purpose to be 
accomplished with this body and brain necessi- 
tates that its composition be of a superior 
nature and texture which borders on the thresh- 
old of perfection and as such it stands out 
separate and apart from all other compositions 
of tissue. 

Man from a scientific view point has existed 
as a man ever since there was a scientific law 
to govern and protect him. It is the same 
law today that it was the instant it began its 
service. It is as unchangeable as the Great 
Soul from which it emanated. The same is 
true of man which it governs. Man may de- 
teriorate in his nature until he reaches the 
lowest plane of material life and still hold his 
identity as a man. He may evolve to the 



162 Psychology Simplified 

highest and purest plane that it is possible to 
reach in this life yet he is still a man and is 
governed by the same scientific law that has 
governed man from the beginning of his 
existence. This scientific law has protected 
with accuracy the composition of man, his 
evolution and offspring. 

The offspring of man may be superior to 
its parents both physically and mentally but 
these variations cannot continue to occur on 
and on indefinitely, if this were possible man 
would finally evolve beyond the divine pur- 
pose of the Great Intelligence that blessed 
him with his existence as a man. The law 
governing man is impartial in performing its 
work in unfolding the purpose of man, making 
it possible for him to evolve to a plane of 
life where he can grasp and manifest the 
highest degree of intelligence within his reach. 

The question is asked how long did it take 
man to evolve into a human being known as. 
man? That you may fully understand my 
answer to this question, I will ask a question, 
by answering this question you will have 



The Evolution of Man 163 

answered the other question. How long will 
it take a gold nugget in a mine to evolve into 
a United States twenty dollar piece? It never 
could have done so unless assisted by an intelli- 
gence greater than that possessed by the gold 
nugget. The same is true with the body and 
brain of man. An intelligence greater than 
that possessed by man formed him into a being 
of the same chemical compound that he is at 
the present time. He partakes of the same 
nature and kind out of which he evolved. 
Nature looses nothing by the process of chang- 
ing the gold nugget into an article of greater 
value. Neither did nature lose anything in 
changing the chemicals into an instrument of 
superior value. All of the chemicals used still 
exists in the body and brain of man. In the 
dissolution of man they will return to their 
original state of existence. 

From a scientific standpoint it has never 
been proven to be true, nor is it possible that 
it will ever be established as true that man is 
a product of evolution, primarily speaking. 
Every argument offered and every solution 



164 Psychology Simplified 

given to support the proposition has for its 
origin and maintenance the material mind of 
man, all of which can be traced to a certain 
avenue, contained within a convolution of the 
brain, which has become over active from 
long continued use. 

The Great Intelligence has so arranged the 
composition of man that he can live upon a 
material plane of life and with intelligence, 
when given freedom of action, can penetrate 
the entire depths of his own origin, evolution 
and final destiny with profound accuracy. 
This intelligence in man can, little by little, 
precept by precept, trace man from the earliest 
dawn of his existence as a man, on and on, 
plane after plane throughout an unending 
Eternity with the All-Wise Creator from which 
his soul emanated and back to Him he is 
evolving with amazing rapidity, guided by the 
hand of Infinite Wisdom which no mortal can 
stay. 

So far I have been reasoning upon man 
purely as an instrument constructed of ma- 
terial peculiarly adapted to the nature of service 



The Evolution op Man 165 

he performs, without life, energy or intelli- 
gence, all of which exists independent of the 
body and brain of man. They can be with- 
drawn from, and applied to the body and brain 
at the proper time when the scientific demands 
of nature requires its presence. 

The next question to settle is the material 
mind of man. The material mind in its nature 
and purpose occupies a closer relationship to 
the brain than any other part of his compo- 
sition. The brain is its home, its abiding place 
during its entire period of existence. It in- 
creases in volume as the brain evolves. It is 
purely and scientifically a function of the brain. 
It is limited in the work it performs to the 
avenues of the brain. Knowledge alone can de- 
velop the avenues which places at its service a 
plane upon which to operate, in which to per- 
form its work from infancy to dissolution. By 
the process of gaining a knowledge of things 
we increase the possibilities of the material 
mind. This can be accomplished by the com- 
bination of avenues known as the five senses, 



166 Psychology Simplified 

either may evolve a plane upon whirh the ma- 
terial mind can operate at ease. 

The material mind being a function of the 
brain is wholly dependent upon it for its 
existence. It is capable of demonstrating ac- 
curately the entire development of each avenue 
in the brain. 

The possibilities of an instrument can be 
determined by its field of operation. All in- 
struments, whatever nature they may be, must 
have a physical basis to operate from. There 
is no scientific variation from this rule. 

The material mind cannot manifest itself 
in the absence of brain tissue. Brain tissue 
is the only tissue capable of evolving a material 
mind. No brain, no material mind. When 
the brain becomes impaired the material mind 
becomes indefinite. When the avenues of 
the brain become unfitted for service, insanity 
is the inevitable result. 

This demonstrates the fact that the material 
mind is dependent upon the brain as an in- 
strument through which to operate. All brain 



The Evolution of Man 167 

tissue is not involved in the construction of 
the avenues through which the material mind 
operates. A greater part of the brain tissue 
s-erves an entirely different purpose to that, out 
of which the avenues in the brain are con- 
structed. A majority of the brain tissues 
form an instrument which performs the pecu- 
liar function of extracting the life force from 
the atmosphere and conducting it through the 
nerves to all of the tissues in the body. When 
the tissues in the brain which perform this 
work become unfitted for service, dissolution 
of the entire body and brain is inevitable. We 
can have a case of insanity resulting from the 
impaired condition of the cortex of the brain 
and a fairly normal body resulting from the 
internal tissues of the same brain, which makes 
it possible to determine the nature of services 
rendered by the different parts of the brain. 
The tissues of the brain entering into and form- 
ing the avenues vary in their nature, according 
to the nature of work it performs, for each 
avenue performs a work entirely different 
from all other avenues in the brain. 



168 Psychology Simplified 

There are quite a number of avenues in 
every brain that remain dormant during the 
entire life of a human being. The material 
mind cannot operate through these avenues 
by reason of their undeveloped condition. This 
can be demonstrated by the brain of every 
living human being. Being universal in its 
application it proves my statement, that the 
material mind is a function of the brain. 

The body and brain of a man is constructed 
to perform a work peculiar to it, which it per- 
forms scientifically. One of the works it 
performs is the evolution of a material mind, 
which deteriorates and ceases to operate when 
dissolution of the brain occurs. 

If this was all entering into and composing 
man, as he is, he could not evolve beyond a 
material state of existence. His identity as 
a man would fade away as a flower. He would 
fold his barque and glide away to exist no more. 
For mortality cannot inherit immortality. 

So far we have found man composed wholly 
of material substance. As such, he could not 
have had his existence without the unerring 



The Evolution of Max 169 

hand of Intelligence to guide his entire evo- 
lution, and make him a being far superior to 
the one we have unfolded to your view. In- 
deed he is as much greater as the one who 
builds a house is greater than the house. 

The material mind can manifest the intelli- 
gence existing in man, but this intelligence is 
not evolved by the brain or material mind, 
neither is it dependent upon either for its 
existence. The arrangement of man is such, 
that the entire being is blended together in a 
way, so that he forms a basis for universal 
harmony. The body and brain serves as a 
physical basis through which the intelligence 
is manifested. In the brain the material mind 
evolves, not that the brain is possessed of an 
intelligence to cause, or even assist, the ma- 
terial mind in its unfolding. Neither can the 
material mind unfold itself independent of an 
intelligence separate and apart from either of 
them. The fact that brain tissues does not 
possess intelligence, w r ithin itself, can be scien- 
tifically demonstrated. The same is true with 
the material mind. Brain tissue does not have 



170 Psychology Simplified 

the power to impart to the material mind an 
intelligence, which it does not possess itself. 
Intelligence does not emanate from the brain. 

The brain is an instrument that supplies 
a plane upon which the material mind operates. 
The material mind is an instrument, through 
which intelligence can be manifested. The 
avenues in the brain are the channels through 
which intelligence is transmitted to the ma- 
terial mind. If the avenues in the brain were 
dormant, this intelligence could not be trans- 
mitted through them to the material mind. 
Then the material mind could not manifest it 
for the sole reason that it could not be trans- 
mitted to it. 

This intelligence existed just the same and 
it is not responsible for its inability to reach 
the material mind. If it was not intended 
that man should manifest this intelligence 
through the various avenues of his brain, the 
avenues would have never have been given 
him to develop and exercise. 

The power that operates the body and 
brain of man is not evolved by them. The 



The Evolution op Man 171 

chemicals entering into their composition do 
not possess within them, the power to give 
life and motion to man. When the body and 
brain is in a condition to be operated, they 
possess inherently an attraction for the pecu- 
liar kind of power that operates them, which 
makes it possible for the power to be applied 
to them. The body, brain and power does not 
possess the intelligence to apply this power to 
the body and brain to operate them. Neither 
can the body, brain and material mind main- 
tain their existence, as such, in the absence 
of this power which operates them and makes 
it possible for them to attract the life force 
from the atmosphere which animates and per- 
petuates them as a living human being. All 
of this is dependent upon an intelligence great- 
er than that possessed by either of them. 

The power entering into and operating 
man as a human being is of a different nature, 
and kind to that possessed by any other 
creature in the material universe. The reason 
why this is true, is because of the nature of the 
work it performs. It serves three purposes, 



172 Psychology Simplified 

namely ; motion, attraction and blending, which 
does not occur in any other living animal. 

Human tissue is the most refined tissue 
known within the realm of material life. It is 
the only known tissue capable of being blended 
with the soul and soul mind possessed by man, 
which makes him a being far superior to any 
other living creature, giving him the ability 
to reason upon finite and Infinite questions 
with ease and accuracy. 

The next question of importance to settle, 
is the intelligence in man. The part it performs 
in the economy of man. We have found that 
man is possessed of a body, brain and material 
mind, which does not separately or collectively 
possess power, energy or life within them- 
selves, all of which must be applied to him in 
order that he be able to operate as a living 
human being. When these are absent from 
the body, he is powerless to operate. 

The intelligence in man is far superior in 
its nature and kind to the body and brain. As 
like will produce like, the source from which it 



The Evolution of Man 173 

emanated must be located, or we will fail in 
our analysis of man. 

The inteligence in man possesses inherently 
wisdom, knowledge and justice, and the ability 
to rule and reign over its entire dominion, 
to give reward to its servants, who are subject 
to it and performs its will with ease and accu- 
racy. We must go beyond this intelligence 
in man in our search for a fountain capable of 
supplying us with ample evidence as to the 
source from which this inteligence emanated. 

The Great Intelligence is All-Wise : has all 
knowledge and He is all in all : He was the 
beginning of all things. The Great Spirit was 
the power used by Him in executing His will. 
The Word was the instrument through which 
He operated, to which He applied the Spirit 
(Power) in providing an existence for all 
things. 

The Great Intelligence has always operated 
through an instrument to accomplish His pur- 
pose. This instrument is operated by the Great 
Spirit, (Power), applied to it by the Great In- 
telligence. So it is in man, the body, (instru- 



174 Psychology Simplified 

ment), cannot operate in the absence of the 
intelligence. In man we have an exact repro- 
duction of the higher order of things, from 
which man receives the intelligence to apply 
the spirit to the body and brain, this begins his 
evolution towards maturity on and on until the 
body and brain of man become so impaired, 
that the intelligence cannot apply the spirit to 
them to operate them, then dissolution is the 
result. 

As the Great Intelligence is the mind of 
the Great Soul and expresses its will, so this 
intelligence in man, is the mind of his soul, 
which transmit all of the intelligence he mani- 
fests through the avenues of his brain to his 
material mind, while passing through the ave- 
nues in the brain this intelligence undergoes 
a process of blending and upon reaching the 
material mind it is clothed with human intelli- 
gence. 

The body, brain and material mind are 
wholly dependent upon the soul and soul mind 
for their life, power, energy and intelligence 
to exist and operate as such, The body is 



The Evolution of Man 175 

composed of material which can be analyzed, 
the soul of man is not subject to a chemical 
analysis. They differ both in nature and kind, 
must have a medium to intercede between 
them in order to secure a union of the two. 
The spirit in man is the only thing, that can 
fill this office, it partakes of the nature of both, 
it unites the soul and body forming them into 
one being. The soul has the intelligence to 
apply the spirit to the body and brain of man 
to operate them and prepare in them an abiding 
place for the soul and soul mind in which the 
soul occupies all space, but consumes none. 

Man as we have unfolded him to your view, 
is capable of maintaining an existence upon 
every plane of life, whether it be mortal or 
immortal.
